Have you had arch mods?
I had the front liner slipped behind the tabs rather than in front..
rears rolled and bumper tab moved
Lowered further to bring in more -ve camber
and lastly and probably looked down upon...had 215/35s and 245/35s (on 8.5 and 9.5" rims respectivley)
It allowed me to soften the COs to half way....
No rubbing.

So I went with arch enemy in the end. I had a guy in Phil come out and I have to say I'm pretty happy with the work. No paint cracks, all looks good. Well chuffed.

UNTIL I drove it. It still rubs! Gutted. I'm wondering if it's now rubbing on the bumper that quickmoose mentions ??

Quickmoose: Loving your picture! very very nice

Just quickly jack it up and you should be able to see quite easily if its the bumper which it's rubbing on, Mine is almost worn away from rubbing but still needs to be cut to stop it.

10 mins with a dremel and a self tapping screw/nut and bolt on each side should see you right .

You were right - moved the tabs and no more rubbing! Nice one.

No, just the tabs where the rear bumper joins the rear arch bodywork. I already got the rear arches rolled before hand ..
