Hi there.

I just installed some new springs in the car, which is a EM1.. The springs are 3.5" all around on 215/35/R18 tyres..

Now the problem is I cant turn the ****n front wheels, obviously because the tyres are hitting the gaurds.

Now I have seen many people run 18s/19s with big drops in ride height, so whats the go..:rolleyes:

jack the car up - take out ur inner plastic guards. Then maybe get a professional to roll ur fender lip.
Still rubs ? take out those silly dropped 3.5inch mofos and get something more subtle like 2.5 or less.

I find it hard to believe that it will fit, we're talking milimetres of space..

Yes they are only held in by clips and can be removed with relative ease.

No its not legal (last time I checked)

The only danger in taking out your inner guards is that it exposes some wiring that could possibly be damaged if you were unlucky to get something caught in there. Thats what theinner guards are for
