Hey guys I bought a set of 20' VE GTS wheels. Only problem is the front tire seems to rub against the inner suspension or something? I'm not too technically sound so I thought I'd ask before I drive it again. It doesnt rub on guards or anything and back tires are fine. Tires are 225/35/ What can I do? Cheers. This is how its currently sitting Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

put a thin spacer on before the wheel to step it out.... but it must be thin so it doesnt hit the out side gaurd.... worked on my old vk with 20s

dont use spacers unless you have to, just run 225/30 tyres and problem solved

if u wanna lower it,, do the back and leave the front stock because the front will be hitting the guard wen u turn or go into driveways and will push it the guard out
