    So after putting these wheels on my car wolfrace 15" with 195/45/15 tyres when theres people/weight in the back its rubbing and sound horrendous and causing damage to godknows what.

    I was told to roll the arches when i posted before, that didnt work well so i took the angle grinder to it! lol...

    but still rubbing !!!!

    if i put the car in gear and try and pull away with the handbrake on and have a mate to look to see where its rubbing it looks like it clearing everything so no idea where and why its still rubbing..

    pics below!..

    Please help

    Had the same problem when I had alloys on my old 106. Get your mates in the back and try bouncing the arse. See how close the tyres come to the arch liners. Could be rubbing there?

    Looks the wheel is sticking out quite far and its rubbing on the bumpstrip/arch mate

    Get some chalk and rub all over the suspect areas. Load up the car and go for a drive. The chalk will have been rubbed off where it's rubbing
