As an update from me with 245 kumho v700 tyres on. Ive done knockhill today and it was rubbing the clam on the sighting laps. Removed my 2mm spacers and i catch on the chassis and shock. To prove a point ill run a 1mm spacer at anglesey but im sure it will catch. My car is sat high with rear ride height of 130mm and i really dont think my tyres/wheels fit the car.

How did Jimmys fit George?? Stiffer shocks?? If not would different tyres in the same size yield different results. Stiffer side walls on R888s maybe?

Fook that. Id prefer to go back to wheels and tyres that fit. Mikes running 5mm spacers on the rear (I think) and still catching the tub! How anyone can run 255 without massive spacers and arch extensions is beyond me.

It depends how much camber you have I think.

Oh and someone say arch extenders?
