i got cav slabs on my corsa b, wrapping inside 195/50/15 tyres and the outside walls look like they have been rubbing on the outer arches, i always thought they was okay to use, so my question is could this be a result of either camber bolts need sorting out, and if so do you adjust these correctly, or could it be down to tracing out of place. the car is also lowered at -40mm i think.
50 is a bit big, but if you look at the arch, its belt on with bolts, which stick thru and the trey can hit, see if it has them, if it does remove the arch, take them off and glue the arch back on.
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
on 1 side it feels it rubs on the plastic innder of the arch but on the otherside it looks like rubs on the metal inside as it has no arch on it and both have no inner arch as i havent put them back on, intending on puttin them back on 2moro when working on the car.
If it rubbing on the front or rear?

shouldnt rub on 50s on slabs fella have you hit the rear wheel at all?
make the uk a better place, break a boat aka calibra :)
there rubbing on the front outa walls, i was looking at the wheels on front and rear and the walls for the fronts do poke out a bit so i was thinking of going down to 185/50/15 and that shouldnt make contact but they ok to use on slabs?
cant see why not buddy
but they shouldn't rub have you taken the plastic 10mm bolts n threaded bits off that hold the arch on?

yes they have been taken out, a few weeks back, i totally forgot to put them back in at the time but intending on putting them back on this week hopefully 2moro but need tyres first.
mine dont rub on the front but was badly rubbing on the rear untill i rolled the arches and got rid of them bolts
rears are fine there on 195/45/15 just front are rubbing.
strange my mrs corsa is 100ish with 195 50 15s on

could it be down ti camber bolts need adjusting then do you think ?
You'd be better off getting 195/45 as its the width of the tyre making the probs.
You have camber bolts fitted? Have they been set up right?

no i just have the standard shock bolts, was wondering if its worth getting a set.
i see what u mean but im wondering if i go 195/45 would it still slightly rub at all, by just catching it.
Any pics of it?

cant til 2moro, and hopefully ill have some new tyres put on the car
it turns out that the tracing was way out leftside was 5.60 degrees out and the rightside was 6 degrees out. got my mate to use his laser alignment machine and got it back to spot on and now it is handling amazing
