Tyres hitting arches

crossy

Hi,
I recently put a set of 265 tyres on the back of my opel omega on a set of deep dish alloys. The Tyres are hitting the arches when I hit a bump.
Was thinking of putting a set of coil overs on the car to harden the suspension.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

It depends on the suspension your running and where its making contact.

Be careful its an NCT fail and its dangerous.


What size wheel do you have?

What suspension modifications do you have?

Do you have pictures of where its making contact?

I've the same problem with a toyota levin, very annoying.

The wheels are deep dish 18".
I am not too worried about the wheels for the nct as I have other standard wheels for it.

This is the car


This is the suspension I am thinking of getting for it

You could get the arches rolled or atleast just the lip inside the arches rolled,might do the trick for ya

Done correctly you paint should be fine...also the coilovers should help aswell since they'll be stiffer than what you have currently....im not too familiar with HSD coilovers but I know theres a few lads on driftireland using them and they dont seem to have any complaints. Maybe ask around there for a bit more help. Plenty of cars on there with low offset wheels and lowered to the hole!

It would ya,go on youtube and look at all the video tips proper arch rollers give and follow ther advice

Couple of things.

HSD coilovers can be got through there official supplier driftworks if your looking for prices.

The coilovers will only solve your tyres hitting the arch if your clearances are ok.

Arch rolling will help give you more clearance but make sure that's where its catching and not anywhere else.

If you change to coilovers you'll need to get your car tracked and lower the car properly so you don't end up with silly camber and make the car handle really badly.

I Priced Drift Works. They are slightly dearer but I would go with them rather than Ebay.
It Definitly hitting on the arch.
I made that arch roller i put up and am going to roll them next weekend
cheers guys
