hi guys..im driving a DC2 VTIR..and currently on 16inch with 204/45R16 tyres and using koni yellows adjustable shocks with king springs...now its set to the lowest height on the konis...and when ever i do full lock..my tyres wld scrap the inside of the wheel well...

atm i had ordered some 17inch....if i put it in without doing ani adjustment of height to the konis...do u tink i wld scrap big time?if i get the guards rolled...wld it help?thanks guys

can i just ask if u got Koni Yellows, instead of rolling ur guards why dont u just adjust ur height UP?

it will still scrap mate.. inside.. pumping the guards are only outside.. so when you full lock it will still scrap.. but if you raise your car to the right height it'll b fine..

17x7 with 205/40/17 tyres should be allright
if you go wider, you may need to roll the guards

raise the car abit, get thinner tyres like 40 or maybe 35 (extreme but works), wherever u take it make sure they dont do a dodgy job cause 80% of rolled guards i see these days are dodgy.

probably your tyre width is the problem. as said 205s and maybe a little bit more height is the solution. Check your wheel offset too.

you will probabaly have to roll them, but it also depends on what offset you running.. I have 205/40/17's but i run a 35 offset.. sets the track out slightly wider, but i can get all 4 rims just in the guards and im sweet, but with my old 45offset rims i could slam it, i just had problems turning as my fronts would sometimes catch the guards
