help!!!!

[novapol]

bought some TSW stealths the other day off colin smith (nova rally)

put them on the front was perfect but after a while the suspension settled and now on the rear arches its touching whenever there is a person in the car!

I cant solve it by cuttin the lip or rolling as it would still rub, they are 195/50/15

my m8 said, push the arces out by hammering then but would need filling and spraying after and dont want to spend so much.

Short of sellin and buyin new 1s im stuck

Any 1 got any ideas ps. on a mk 1 nova

same happend to me cut the inner lip with hacksaw and bend the lip up in side the arch seal and paint to stop rot if they still rub pull on the arch slightly to pull it out then try that is the cheapest method and if done corectly u wont notice hope thas a bit of help other peop will say diffrent but thats how i done mine

need to stretch arches a little. ?100tops for both sides

avoid hammering out unless you know wot yer doing - can crack paint work.

Also - check rubber on them - if the tyre wall is curved then it will prob buff - mine used to catch but I just wore away the lettering on the tyre wall and theyre fine now!

:D

need to be careful though - you dont want to blow the tyre.

Alternatively spend ?100 and get some low profile 45's - straight walls and wont buff or shouldnt do anyway)

will stretching the arches effect my insurance?
would the lip still need to be rolled?

any one know where to get this done? i live near shrewbury (far west midlands)

how much do they rub little or quite alot ??

[novapol]

alot....pretty much constant

best bit would be to do what ade said as mine only rubed a little after i folded the lips up in the arch and was able to whack it out with a hammer i then lightly filled it not a prob with me as i am spraying car again but in ur case it may need to be properly as u dont want to respray
