cheers matey! like i said i think the rear needs to go a bit lower but that means loosing the rear arch liner i think...
just worked out how much stretch i can get on these wheels and it still be safe so once everythings confirmed i'll be looking at new rubber for these rims

I removed my arch liners as rear rubbed when I had a FULL load of BIG people 
Is it close to the metal arch lip?

can get a finger between the arch lip and the tyre. want to drop the rear down so the arch sits roughly on top of the rim on tues if your up for it ben? just need to loose the arch liner for the bumper i think.
