Default 3dr wheel help

Ive just brought a set of 18's and it rubs quiet bad, ive already got koni adjustables on it but ive been told one on the main reasons for this is that ive still got standard bushes on the car, will Polyurethane bushes help solve the problem?

cheers

no,the offset must be wrong,if its rubbing on the inside then you can use sapcers,if the wheels are catching the arches then you will either have to raise and firm up the suspension or get the grinder out.or another thing is to run with narrower tyres.

What size/make tyres? What width wheels ?
What offset ( ET ) are the wheels?
Where is it rubbing?
