The rims are Lenso's and are 20 x 8.5 with +40 offset. The rubbing only occurs when turning whilst going over kerbs and small bumps in the road, eg out of driveways / low speed corners etc. I have read that perhaps the +40 offset on the fronts with the 35 profile on a 20" rim brings it too close to the upright. Just wanting to know an offset for the fronts which will solve this rubbing problem as it is bloody frustrating!The car is a 2010 FG G6E Turbo and aside from the rims the only other mod it has is lovells sport low springs all round.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
