Wheels rubbing, can anything be done?

[Dave..]

As said, hard cornering and any sort of bump is making my front wheels rub on the top of the arch lining. Bit alarming when your hammering down a country lane and all you can here is scraping every other 10 metres.

Wheels are 17"s and not sure of the drop on it, must be about 40mm. Is there something I can do to bodge it and stop the wheels rubbing? or is it going to be smaller wheels/new springs?

Cheers

some people remove the arch lining...or what about a lower profile tyre.

Get 16" wheels, raise the car, remove the arch liner?

Take your pic.

I've actually got 15's on my 182 and lowered it on gaz coilovers...quite a lot it would seem. Found it was rubbing on the front of the arch liners -there is a bit that sticks out towards the wheel - I just cut that out, and ground out a small lip of metal behind it, then filed and re-painted it. Sorted.
