    Unhappy Wheels rubbing (cav gsi slabs)

    hey all.

    I recently fitted my new gsi slabs i brought off benny f onto my nova. all seemed to go ok etc.

    then i went out with my dad to find out that the back wheels rub when corning (i belive this is because of the shell rolling as i corner thx to no anti-roll bars)

    so how do i fix this..

    fit spacers longer wheel bolts and probly a wider arch kit as they might stick out past the excisting nova archs.

    or is it something to do with the camber angle


    tomorrow ill take a picture of the where the wheels have rubbed its on the inside of the archs.

    also could i lower it say 40mm with no problems heres a picture for now.



    if picture is to big tell me and ill crop thanks for any advice

    They look like 50 profiles.

    Put some 45's on there.
