I have just fitted some 15" calibra alloys (the flat type ones) with 195/50/15 tyres. The back right tyre rubs when I go over bumps or have a rear passenger!?

It is only the one that does it. I heard a while back that Vauxhall, in the early days, had a tollerance allowance of 4mm over the length of the axles etc (2mm either side)......could this be the case?

Will I have to grind a little bit of the lip away, and will the wheels rub with a lower drop? I was going for -60 all round, should I do a 60/40 instead?

grind the lip or carefully use a sisor jack to push the arch out a bit, leave for five mins, to let metal take the new shape, and then release

it is because nova beams never seem to sit in the middle of the body

my 1.2i beam was dead center

16" and 60mm with no mods
