Red face Rubbin' alloys

Think me wheels are rubbin' on the rear arches......

the alloys are 17" Team Dynamics with 215/40/R17 avons.

the offset is ET45 i am guessing that this is wrong.

it only happens when i have people in the back or when the road is bumpy.

is there anything apart from changing the wheels that i can do?

If on a uk car, you could remove the little rubber trim that goes aroung the arch, should be fine then!!

i run 45 offset wheels, with 215/45/17 tyres and mine never rubbed, this is on a jap car without the arch edging stuff

i lowerd it about 100mm plus!! and the rears never caught, i dropped the front even further and started to get sum chaffage when the wheel was turned and i hit the brakes hardish, scince resorted back to standerd suspension and my 17" wheels are off for a repaint
