    Default Front wings PROBLEM!!!

    Hey guys, I want your advice on how to widen the front wings of my nova. I just put new tires 195/50 R15 Toyo R888 and I have trouble in the corners, and I climbed up, regulated hardness and is still rubs against the body.

    Had the same problem on a rally car I look after, we altered the line of the wheel arches, made them more circular.

    I can take a picture if you want to see how it looks?

    your other option is to use saloon front wings, because they are round, so better clearance

    Or 5 Door ones, this is the best for "track/rally" if you ask me (one of the Rally guys on here runs them on his actually). They give ALOT more clearance than standard box arches.

    Once you've cut/roll the lip you could always pull them out slightly (by hand, roller or whatever)

    Maybe flare the arches using the bottlejack method to gain the clearance?
