I'VE GOT AN 1995 LEGACY GT AUTO ESTATE WITH 17"SCHNEIDER ALLOYS WITH 215/45 TYRES ON IT.PROBLEM IS,ON HARD CORNER'S AND FAST ROUND ABOUTS THE TYRES HIT THE WHEEL ARCH'S. STARTING TO GET BLOODY ANNOYING NOW,IF I NEED STIFFER SPINGS,WHERE DO I GET THEM FROM IS IT BETTER TO DO SHOXES & SPINGS ANY ADVICE WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL.

 

At the mo, your new wheel size/tyre size combo is giving you a height from the centre of the hub to the top of the tyre of 313mm.

Do you know what the standard OEM wheel size/tyre size combo is? If so, then I can work out if the above distance is significantly taller than OEM - this could be the reason for the rubbing under suspension compression.

 

thanks for responding.have no idea what the standard oem is.
