Was wondering if anyone could give me some advice, my Mk4 is rubbing on her rear arches, shes lowered by 40mm and currently still on oil shocks, running 13inch pepper pot alloys. Any advice would be muchly appreciated, as not sure if it's the lowering springs which are just too soft or the fact I'm still running oil based rear shocks.

 

It's not the Shocks that's the problem, it's either either the rim offset, rim width or tyre width or a combination.

 

Okay then thanks mate, just had a little look and it's probably the tyre size then as currently running 185/60R13 and should be 175/70R13

 

if there xr2 pepper pots there will stick out a touch. how ever if there capri pepper pots there will rub as there old rwd offset mate

 

They are XR2 Pepper Pot wheel BIG LEE, only seem to rub when I'm going over speed bump, pot holes or uneven surfaces, starting to think it maybe my springs which just aint firm enough as is every bouncy at times

 

try spring assistors in it to stop it moven as much

 

Il see if I can get hold of some mate

 

ebay is probs best bet you can pick them up for like £5/10 a pair
