[QUOTE="Herr Odo, post: 737959, member: 43311"] Greetings fellas, Recently changed my standard 205/60 R15 to 18-inch. Tyre shop added a rubber bushing to each of the rear wheels to fit tyres into wheel well. But they didn't do a good job...although the rear looks level, it appears the rear right wheel is a little closer to the wheel arch than the left side. so when going over any bump on roads, the rear right wheel tends to rub against the wheel arch. one option is to add thicker bushing to lift the rear suspension and get better clearance between tyre and wheel housing. the other option is to get stiffer springs. which is the best route to take in order to maintain optimum driving dynamics and not make the rear look unusually high? If changing springs is better choice, what brand and price? front wheels are fine. to those who have encounter a similar problem, pls advise. /Klang Valley resident [/QUOTE]
