19"SUPERLEGGERAS ON STI 8....!
#1
Has anyone else 19's on the new Sti 8 except me and Sammy? cos the car when cornering hard or when more than 2 up seems to be fouling soemthing inside the arches both front and rear yet I can see nowhere where the wheel has contacted either outer arch or inner wheel arch liner. Absolutely nothing! What can be making the noise? Has anyone else experienced this? There is also no visible signs of damage to the tyres. Tyre size 235/35/19 pirelli Pzero rosso? Can anyone help because it is doing my box in. Cheers.

NO MUD FLAPS FITTED , SO IT PROBABLY IS WHAT YOU SUGGEST MIKE . THANKS PEOPLE . AND THANKS MIKE FOR THOSE FEW MEMORABLE LAPS AROUND ROCKINGHAMS IN FIELD TRACK THE OTHER MONTH IN YOUR STI , GREAT DAY AND VERY NICE TO MEET YOU . ps COULD REDUCING TYRE SIZE TO 225 STOP THIS DO YOU THINK AS THE NOISE IS ONLY VERY SLIGHT AS IF IT IS ONLY JUST TOUCHING , WHATEVER IT IS TOUCHING !. AND WOULD A SET OF YOUR SPRINGS MAKE IT WORSE REGARDS SIMON .

Having wheels of a larger (numeric) offset would be the best solution but changing tyre size may be as difficult as 235 is about the narrowest 19" tyre available. Springs may not help either as the ride height is being controlled as much by the bumpstop when you get this low.

Simon you need to get 3mm machined from the hub or the better option would be to take them back and get your supplier to exchange them for the correct ones.
