Hi All

I ended up buying a LH mock up, love it, still know nothing about cars so looking for some advice.

The back wheels are rubbing on the inside of the doors, it’s not all the time, depends if the kids are in the back, if I go over a bump or around a corner.

The rims are 17s x 275mm width - believe it’s a standard diff

I’m lost to if I need to get new rims, tyres, suspension, not sure when to take it either (I’m in Caroline Springs in Victoria)

It looks like it has plenty of metal cut out in the right places, and it doesn't look too low either, so I am guessing that firmer springs and shocks might be the go.

The easiest way would be the airbag kits that fit inside the springs, but it will sit too high every time you park up and get out.

Thank you, appreciate you responding, I’ll try and get it into a suspension place soon

The doors are not cut at all? Unfortunately if you want to fit big wheels and tyres that will need surgery too.

 

(That's not particularly aggressive either)

My L34 is standard (doors not cut) and it is fine with 265's on 10 inch rims. I guess it depends on how low you want to go.

^ Those are smaller diameter though, that helps a lot
