Hi, I hope this is the right place for this as the other threads on lowering dont realy answer my questions.... :-(

I've got a 1989 Westy California with high top. Its been lowered 45mm with a set of Avo springs and shocks.

I have set 15 wheels on with 215/50/15 tyres that seem to catch the front arches. No spacers behind the wheels....

has anyone else got this tyre fitted and running ok? can I adjust the shocks? was told something about Avo not having any bump stops?

New to T3's so any advice would be most appreciated???

Thanks

ttcharlie

I would move this but as i don't have a Westy it looks like i'm not worthy.

What's the ET(offset)of the wheels? This may be where the problem stems from rather than the tyres.

7.5J is the width.

ET is the offset...ET11 and upwards.

What style are the wheels...is there any pics of yours on here?
