Unhappy Prodrive GC07 + Lowered Question

last few months I fitted some Prodrive GC07's to my Lowered S2k but every now and then I seem to near a but of rubbing on the rear wheels, It seems to be catching on the outside Lip of the wheel arch at the top.

I dont really want to higher the car as I love the height it is just wondered if you have any other suggestions on how to stop it?

Sell the wheels to me?



roll the arches if you don't want to raise the car or set the damping a little harder?

Sell them back to the rightful owner?

It's probably just the arch liners. Arch liners are there to be worn

I get a noise which appears to be a scuffing/catching noise (not a bad noise) typically when on full lock moving off hills etc.

I only have Rota Slipstreams 17's and lowered on swift springs ~20mm. Apart from that the car is fine.

Any ideas what it could be?

Ah missed that!

Normally the fronts give the bother.

Narrower tyre or more camber then!
