Bro, you mean your tyre kena the outer part of your fender and tyre wall scratched or tyre hit the inner part of fender? if is thefirst problem then maybe offset too much, can adjust camber to suit it a little bit if still kena then you can either change rim or adjust absorber higher or increase stiffness of your absorber. Your suspension is ori one right?

Dun flatten the fender, heard from sifu this is not good, easily get dented...

bro zac, tyre hit inner part of the fender....if ketuk fender is not tat good then increase the height of the spring wit rubber??will it be like tonggek style??i dowan like tat wo hahahah.....but i heard many ppl did flatten the fender sigh....dono wat 2 do now....anyway thanks 4 ur advice bro...

Vic,

195/50-16 has a larger overall diameter than 205/45-16, or even the std 185/60-14. So obviosly by being larger there will be less clearence to the inner wheelacrh and outer fenders.

Another issue could also be your wheel offset. which partly explains the rear clearence issues
