Problems!

[Mattb.SHED]

Hi all,
Recently put some coilovers on my shed, only on monday, and already I am having problems with wheels rubbing the arches etc.. they are no where near wound all the way down and dont really want to go higher, I have seen many lower clios than mine on here and also with bigger wheels, they say they dont seem to have any problems, my wheels are the stock 15" ones. Here's a pic, any suggestions will be apprciated.

what tyre size

is it front / rear catching, on corners? straight pot holes etc

and what coilovers

If it's catching on the inside get some spacers.
If it's catching on the outside get some negative camber.

Its the front and they are catching on the inside of the arch, mostly when I turn right. No idea on what width the wheels are, just the standard 1.2 wheels. Also it doesnt catch in reverse. Could be because I havnt had my tracking done yet? They are just some cheap TA Technix ones.

I had the same problem as this on mines, it was rubbing on the coilover so I adjusted my camber then it drove like a boat so I got spacers, 25mm is to much and rubs on the arch. Not all the time only on differed surfaces, the best way around it is to get slightly lower profile tyres! I take it it's the standard 195/55/15?

Standard is 185/55/15 iirc.

Well if you do the 185/50/15 or even 185/45/15. I'm having the same problem tbh but I couldn't care. Proper mot failer apparently? Richybatt that's on here lowered his to the deck and was driving along and one tyre rubbed so much on the front that it burnt through the rubber then after about 10 mins after driving down the road the other side did the same... If you get 15/20mm huncentric spacers it will hopefully sort out this problem?

:edit: have you adjusted your front camber?

I probably won't be gettin lower profile tyres as I cba lol I'm just gna wait till I get my steelies, I dont think that the front camber has altered, me and my mate just stuck em on and the drop was perfect, but after abit of settling in I think its dropped more, I think spacers will make it worse tbh. Im just gna get some camber bolts and wack em on lol
