    Looks like ur camber is way out the wrong way. But jam a baseball bat between ur guard and the wheel and get a mate to drive the car forward untill u get desired flair.

    Meh, only 2 places it may scrub,
    Stock castor? Then smack down the seam in the rear inside of the wheel arch
    .. You should not even come near scrubbing anything else.
    You have other things to sort out by the pics, fix them before you start changing rubber etc.

    run mrioe castor, get a hammer onto the back seam where it rubs and get an angle grinder onto the bottom of your guard and try and cut it out smoothly, cut small bits at a time until you have desired clearance between tyre and guard, allow some room for wheel movement under brakes due to you running a standard castor rod bush, i wouldn't advise jsut driving like that, can fuck your tyres real quick if the guard suddenly decides to dig in

    true true. luckily for me my brother works at a tyre shop and therefore these tyres were free along with others. going down to 185's or 195's. do some remodeling with a hammer and possibly an angle grinder.
    rolling guards and getting new springs.
    should sit fat in the end, thanks for everyones help
    Wah Bah Ki?
