ive got some 12 by 5 superlights fitted now, but they scrape when i am getting to full lock.
the tyre sizes are 165/60/12
should they scrape or not? can i get lower profile tyres in this size?

I guess they scrape on the front valance, right?

That's pretty normal, mine used to do it. I just bent the valance a bit.

I don't think you can get a lower profile 12" tyre.

Either cut a bit of the arch out, bend it back or dont use full lock. Dont worry - it is normal...

[stevenford_uk]

by bend it back, you just mean get the hammer out and smack it up a bit, or shall i do it the technical way and use pliers or pincers to bend it properly?
i am also putting my grp 2 arches on it at the same time, that wont affect it will it?

[Bluemini]

If your gonna put arches on, I would cut it back then because you wont be able to see it.

By bend we mean with a hammer!
