Hello,

I recently fitted 10x6 Deep Dish Wheels with 165/70 tyres on my mini. Ive purchased new arches to cover the extra width outside the body however there is already rubbing occuring. I was wondering what options are there for stopping this scrubbing from occuring. Is it easiest to just cut a bit of the gaurd away and what would this involve?

In this photo you can see the rubbing on the inner arch (the black marks) near the front. The car is up on a hoist so that is the reason the wheel looks so low.

This Photo shows the new wheels on the car.

Cheers Guys!

i have 13X7's on my clubman, i found at full lock that i was rubbing on the front of the arch, i had to cut a few inches out of the arch to overcome this.
