Hi mate, sorry I didn't reply sooner. I have 18" BK299's with a 45mm offset running 215/35/18 tyres. My car is lowered 35mm on Prodrive Suspension. I havn't done any body mods atall, they dont rub unless I have 2 people in the back and corner very hard, then they rub slightly on the lip on the arch.

Hope this helps mate.

Hi mate I have been supplied with BK299 18"with offset47 and 225 35 18 tyres and they are catching the front arches and rear arches on the return lips have spoke with the dealer who supplied them and been told he gonna see if he can switch the tyres for 215s, but I dont think this will cure the problem as the tyres he supplied seem to keep going down.

I don't know about the tyres going down issue, but the arch-rubbing is definatley caused by the tyre size. 215/35's are what you need on a classic.
