Might need a little more detail, as in...

What size are they? Diameter - Width - Offset.

Tyre size? Diameter - Width - Profile.

Is the car lowered? Are they scraping the guards? Suspension? Inner Guard lining? Only on bumps? Front? Back? Only when turning on full lock? etc...

The rims are 18x8.5 and 18x9 +11 and im not sure on the tyres but i think they are 18 240x45 i think and it scraps on bumps, corners and full lock i cant really pin point what it is scraping on exactly, and the car is only 5mm of standard height.

For those widths, you'll need a larger offset wheel, something closer to +20 or higher. Your current +11 is too small an offset, which is probably making the tyres rub on the guards when you hit bumps because the wheel is sitting too far out. The lower the offset, the further out the wheels will stick...

The wheel and tyre widths will not be the problem, the offset will.

you know, at first glance I didn't notice the wider front guard beyond the flare. I love the pics from your old car collection.

Josh, we really need to know where it is rubbing, although from the offset it seems likely it is rubbing on the guard. That can only be fixed by rolling or flaring the guard, or changing to differet offset wheels.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?

      I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility
