[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 71872, member: 264"] Your 55 profile tyre probably rubbed against the bodywork, not the suspension. Even with ET43 there is lots of clearance between the shoulder of the tyre and the spring platform. The tyre position doesn't move relative to the platform at it pivots about it as one unit. With ET35 (assuming a 7" rim also) you will have 8mm more clearance but reduced clearance between the outside shoulder and the wheel arch/liner. Plenty of clearance here [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7159/6634285985_86b23d2f3b_z_d.jpg[/img] with the wheel turned to full lock, theres still clearance between outside shoulder and arch liner [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7155/6634299735_145bd9d73b_z_d.jpg[/img] The above were taken with the suspension compressed about 25mm which would probably simulate a reasonably hard cornerer [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7143/6634272521_f96c846290_z_d.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
