Hi peeps bought some 19 16v phase 2 alloys with 195/55/15 tyres the other day for my Renault 5 fitted them and they are fine on the front but rub like a git on the back, i always thought that these wheels fitted straight on. Any ideas on what the problem may be? is it the tyres are to wide? I need to raise the car slightly as it has been lowered and is scraping the exhaust when i go over speed ramps and humps etc.
Thanks
Steve |

what profile are the tyres? the clios use the same inner arches and can catch with the 195's, they run 185/55's to avoid this problem. |

I run 195/45x15 they don't rub and its lowered. 195/45x15 gives the same rolling radius as the standard 13" rims |
