the3mcc 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Ive have just bought my 1st vr6!! It has keskin kt5 17's on her, and the rear arches are rubbing alot,even with just me in the car. i was told it had been lowered 30mm, but was wondering if coilovers would fix the problem, the car is not that low. Welcome any advice Thanks!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 whats the spec on the wheels ? Link to post Share on other sites
the3mcc 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Not sure of the offset, they have 205 tyres on so assuming that they are 7.5j. hope that helps!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 only lowered that much with those tyres on a 7.5 it shouldnt be rubbing that much I wouldnt have thought - might be the springs are either not up to the job/ knackered ? are the keskins direct fitment or u running adaptors or spacers ?

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 well coilover might but you might just need new springs but depends on the spec of the wheels and spacers/adaptors etc as even with new coilies springs if they are too wide they will still rub mate Link to post Share on other sites
