Just lowered the rear end using a proper slide hammer, but noticed alot of you can get you wheels+tyres tucked inside the wheel arch? and you can hide the top of the tyre and no scraping...

but on mine (nimrods 185/ 50/ 16) i have lowered it BUT the arch touches the sidewall?

is there something wrong with my beam? or something because people with 180 wheels seem to tuck them under and and clearance between the sidewall and rear arch?

im gathereing you all have arch mods?

hope you get what i mean :S

Think your tyre size is wrong? 195-45-16 or 205-45-16 is correct size.

What Nimrods do you have? What offset are they?

You may have 406 nims. I have no problems tucking, running a 165/45 R16 at ET 15 It won't be an issue with your suspension, I'd guess its the offset of your nimrods.
