   I have these wheels, 195/50/15
   
   With me and a mate in the car, its fine.... Full Lock seems fine but going down a country road it rubs the arch liners going over the bumps fast.
   
   Carrying 4 people was a disaster.. full on scrubage!
   
   My car is lowered pretty much 60/55

   I'm only down 40 and having serious rubbing issues on 55s. I wore thru the plastic arch liner at the back in about 5 mins and now there is metal poking thru which is scoring the tyre badly. Is there a quick fix for this I can do before I get smaller tyres?
