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.

is it stupidly low? could you not highten the car for better clearence?
wilson.
I adjust the suspension to gr.a nova GTE parameters, later I upload a pic.
get a grinder on the lip,and i ran the same size and make tyre, that works mint for me, and im a fat *******lol
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 :thumb:
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?
This is the problem in question. I think it will be easier to extend the width of the arches. Right?lol
For the same height the 195/50 R15 Michelin Pilot never give any problem:confused: After these tyres I put the 195/45 R15, the distance between the tyre and the wheels arch its perfect.

are they renault wheels?? what is the offset? on a nova the offset should be ET49, these look like ET35
What offset are those wheels? They look like they stick out further than I'd expect
Edit: D'oh beaten to it by the Mowg'
Yeah the offset its 38 with 6,5J.
The progress at the moment;)
