Ruining my front tyres

[Cornes182Cup]

My car is lowered by either 15mm or 20mm at the front with eibach springs and the tyres are rubbing on the arch lining, making a mess of the outer edge of the tyres and wearing a hole in the arch lining.

Just wondering if anyone knows how I could stop this without the obvious solution of fitting standard springs so the car isn't lowered?

Thanks.

What tyres are they!? Mines on coilovers and doesnt run, 15 is nothing.u muat have huge tyres on?

 

[long_guts]

are you running spacers?

 

[plymcl172]

I have 17's and get no rubbing

what have you done to it ?

 

[Cornes182Cup]

No spacers and my tyre size is 205/40 R17 84W, they are toyo proxes. I haven't changed anything since buying it in october.

Will take pics tomorrow of the damage its doing to my wheels and my inner arch.

you sure it has eibachs? wrong offset wheels i guess is the only other cause

 

[Cornes182Cup]

Yeah definitley has eibachs front and back. You can see the ride height of my car here (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?608170-New-member-first-pics-of-my-Clio-182)

offset?

 

[Cornes182Cup]

Standard from what I know, no spacers and no camber change

 

[Fred@BTM]

find out THE EXACT offset of your wheels

 

[Cornes182Cup]

Ok will do tomorrow, cheers

 

[plymcl172]

yeah is strange same tyre size as me ! Its strange they dont look like 17's in the pic .

 

[Cornes182Cup]

The offset of the alloys is ET42, what do I need to do now?

 

[BennMurray]

sounds like your trackings out!! uneven wear of the tyre

Offset is key. Doesn't seem like it's super low.

P.S. Your car isn't a Cup.

Looks like a 182 Cup to me. Check the rear bench.

EDIT: Just noticed you apparently get that crap rear bench with the Recaro option.

They arent standard wheels.

Its not a cup as its arctic blue and 182 cups only came in Racing blue and inferno iirc.

OP get your wheel alignment checked at local tyre place.

As per what DuckyDuckDuck said.

Non-Renault turinis have a lower offset than standard 182 wheels IIRC so that is probably to blame.
