   So i have 16inch Oz SuperT's with 20mm spacers on the front and 25mm spacers on the back, The offset on the alloys are 37 so ford offset.
   
   Tyre size is 195/45/R16 i know ideally i want a 40profile but what else can i do to stop them rubbing ?
   
   Back is fine
   Front rubs on the tyre slightly on full left lock
   Front rubs on the alloy quite abit on a lil right lock
   
   What can i do to stop it rubbing on the alloy as much ?
   
   Also what size bolts will i need to run 30mm spacers ?
   (Dont go on about them being dangerous please)

   Well i have 20mm hubcentric spacer and a 5mm shim on the back that seems alright. on the front just the 20mm hubcentric so maybe ile try a 5mm shim if not they will be fore sale
