    Default WHEEL SCRUB- I just lost alot of my turning circle, big wheels on a KE! HELP!

    So basically im running 15x8 +0 which sit FAT out of the stock guards. Thing looks fucking cool but as I was driving it for the first time, I clearly noticed that ive lost 1/4 of my turning circle on each side due to some intense scrubbing against the bottom edge of the wheel arch and top depending on which way you turn. The thing is also stock height and yes i plan to slam it

    I can get smaller tyres and that will give me a bit more room to turn but is there any way else I can fix it.
    Cut out parts of the wheel tub?

    Give me some ideas or let me know if anyone else has had this problem and fixed it:



    Wah Bah Ki?

    Put some 5mm spacers on ( to lower your offset ) and get under the wheel arch with a hammer.

    Shouldnt take too much modding unless you have some serious lock.
