On my old comps I had 235/35/17 from memory.
No scrubbing, car lowered too



Now got 225/35/18.
Front slightly catch, rears dont catch at all.
All arches now trimmed tho

Here's a pic of the ride height... Not the greatest of pics...

I'm going to measure the ride height later and compare to ade's.

A big thanks mate for the chat this morning....

Good chat mate That looks like it should be ok to me, you may be a tad higher. These are the lowest shots I could find and the ride height hasn't been changed between the two wheels
