Hi,
Have a slight problem. My summer tyres are 205/40 r16 which means the total height of the wheels+tyres is 57.04cm. The summer tyres are fine. Last winter i had the original oz 15" wheels and 185/65 r15 meant that the total height was 62,15cm and they scraped the rear passanger side arch when turning right or driving over a small bump.
This year ive got 195/50 r16 on my new wheels and its supposed to be 60,14cm high but they still scratch the arches.
My question is, should i check the wheel alignment or any bent/broken parts or is it normal that they scratch the arches. The offset should be fine. My new wheels didn´t fit on the rear axle at first so i got these things and got them fitted(don´t know how they´re called in english:
If the current winter tyres are too high, i guess i´ll just have to lose some weight.
Cheers.
