    well if its not rubbing on the gaurds then its not fat enough.

    OT. as said allready there isnt much you can do without replacing somthing ie. suspention or wheels/tyres, but if you wanted to do somthing slightly dodgy to fix it ive got some extended bumpstops that you can put on that reduced shock travel with obviously means that the wheel wont go up into the gaurd enough to rub
    just a thought

    He meant removing the current bumpstops and putting in longer ones so you'll bottom out on them before you scrub your tyres. I wouldn't recommend that! Can get dangerous as suspension travel gives you control over your car. The ride will be pretty ****ty too if you keep bottoming out. I'd rather rub tyre than bottom out - I've shortened my bumpstops on my coilovers so the ride is a little more bearable.

    yes exactly

    sorry i had alittle bit of Woodstock in me at the time of typing that.

    but yes as said it is dodgy

    why not remove your rear seats and make it a 2 seater, then you will have an excuse to not have people in your car and then it wont scrub?
