   hi guys anyone else have this problem with the 16 inch oz superturismo gt's they r 195/45 tyres which i guess is normal? i just had my car lowered about 30-40mm and on full lock it scrapes is this common or have i done something wrong ? i am told arch rolling wont do a thing cause its just above the wheel aint it ? and full lock would be digging in sideways into the arch i dunno much about rolling but any help would be great

   I think 195/40's should be alright...

   Yep ive got the same wheel size as you and same wheel basicly, they wont rub on full lock if you havent got your car lowered, but they will rub at the back once you have a car full
   
   But yeh ive also been told to lower profile to 40.......more expensive tyres but it be worth it
