seriously - is that all?
if i reduce the aspect ratio wont that just lower the circumference of the tyre and not width because it scrubs on suspension not arch

rubs on the suspension :o

check all the suspension where it meets the car and that its not rotten through or something!!!!!!!!

all the car is solid! no rot all of the suspension set up is good, the tyres only just touch with a few spacers it should be ok i think

My 17's and 18's used to rub on the rear shock covering, its only plastic so it didnt really matter. Could always remove it. Its because of the rear beam tolerances, one side has loads to spare, the side used to just touch the cover on full load.
