Could be a different offset though couldnt they?

Where exactly are they scrubbing? On full lock or continuously or going over bumps?

    So far going over bumps that causes the scrubbing, could adjusting the coil overs also help give clearance and camber / wheel tuck
    Just hardened the coil overs now : / haha

    Yep, that would probably help.If you arent prepared to do that, youll have to lose the guard liners like Sahin says

      Update
      -Stockies are back on 2 are down to the bulbs....
      -Removed front guard liners
      -Coils hardened (somehow feels better than softened coils 8O )
      -Need to remove rear liners still.
      -Wheel offset still seems wide on the back and front and can't roll front guards unless I go back to oem :(, not sure if spacers were run or what kind if they were, do your tyres line up slightly wider than the guards sahin?

      That would be your problem right there. Tyres.

      235/45 and a lowered car would cause the scrubbing.

      Will removing the spacers give more clearance to the guards, since i can't really roll the front being fiberglass

      plus removing the rear liners, should give enough clearance until I can slowly get the money to change the tyre widths :lol:

      Rear liners? Wut
      And with the front guards being fibreglass you can just cut them you don't have to roll them but I haven't had to do that...

      The rear does not have removable guard liners! Its part of the chassis and is metal

        Haha yeah that would defs scrub everywhere on 235/45 with those enkeis. I can only get away with it as I'm running +20 offset. The spacers will be helping your cause, see if u can get bigger ones!
