Rear Suspension Problem - 182 Cup

[ClioF1]

I have a 2005 182 Cup thats practically brand new with low kms.

The problem is I fitted semi slicks to the car and under extreme cornering (track work) the rear suspension bushes flex and the tyres are rubbing on the inner guards/bodywork.

I checked the clearance, its the same as the standard wheels/tyres but they don't generate as much grip as the semis to cause a problem. Its only when I run the semis that it rubs.

Powerflex don't do rear bushes, does anyone know of a solution to this problem or of someone out there who does polyurethane lower rear bushes for the 182 Cup?

could always try some 3mm spacers, might be enough to stop the wheel fouling the inner bodywork.

is your suspension standard or moddified?

I considered the 3mm spacers Loony, I think spacers would be a good last resort option if I can't fix it properly.

Fred its a stock 182 Cup with 15x7 ET45 rims and 205/50R15 Toyo R888 tyres.

The R888s are a little fat for 205s but the clearance is practically the same as the standard wheels/tyres - Its around 10-12mm between the tyre and the box section of inner bodywork just behind the left side of the rear bumper.

Any other ideas?

I'm thinking a rear swaybar might do the trick. I have a feeling there is too much grip at the rear causing it to toe out excessively.
