   Hey everyone.
   Right, I bought some vtr alloys to put on my 1.1 desire over christmas. I noticed that there is some bad rubbing when there are three or more people in the car. Especially when going over bumps, or cornering hard. What can i do to fix this?

   On the rear arch there is a lip you can either grind/cut/bend it off. This should solve your problem did with me anyway.
   
   Just make sure you seal it once your done.

   guess they are catching on the rear? in that case the lip on the arch needs folding up, its quite a common thing on flat arches
