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.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
