i have coilover's, arches trimmed and they still catch.
where am i going wrong? coilovers to low?
Where are they catching mate?

I've got 17x8 ET33 MO Flat spokes alll round 215/40/17 on the front and 235/40/17 on the rear and they don't catch I have cut the arches right back you have to be quite brutal but it doesn't look bad.
I wanted to fit a 10mm spacer on the rear just to pull the wheels right out in the arches but they catch then, so i'm getting a pair of 245/35/17 for the rear which work out to have a slimmer profile.
Here is a photo taken today with the 235 fitted see if you can gauge if yours is lower.
