New coilovers on, scrubbing and low profile help please

[Ant16]

So i've just fitted some coilovers and I keep raising them to stop the scrubbing as it really is doing my head in. Does anyone know how to reduce the scrubbing without raising the suspension? There seems to be a bit of metal behind the arch liner on the front that has a lip and I think the tire is scrubbing on that.

Also, how low can a profile of tire go on 16 inch alloys? Would this enable me to keep lower suspension?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

you've seen the problem, cut the front bumper support off (i have on mine)...not needed. Or hammer up out the way.

Is that all it is? A support? Excellent, this will be done then. Angle grinder do the job?

hacksaw etc, whatever takes your mood...

Ok thanks toastfrenzy. Do you know what determines how low a profile tire you can have on a wheel?

 

[Toastfrenzy]

not really but there's probably a load stuff to consider ride height, ride, is wheel made to take low profile, it'll make the whole cicumference smaller which affects indicated speed to some degree.
