Help I have fitted 185/55/r15 wheels and tyres to my yrv now back tyres are rubbing in the arches somewhere when i go over bumbs or into holes in the road what can i do to solve this ??

Sounds like the wrong type of wheels....

Hi,

Where did you get your wheel and tyre package from?

Have heard of others on here who had this problem and it was down to the type of wheel fitted. To me it sounds like the only way to get around this is with some wheel spacers.

Been looking into new alloys and tyres for my turbo, and had this advice given to me:

Our std wheels are only 5j so a move to 6.5j is a big increase(1.5 inches) in width. I think 6.5j x 16's with 195 x 45or maybe 205x 40 tyres would be best.
