on saturday i bought some new wheels off corsakid on mig, they are ATP alloys 16 x 7j et 49 which is nice all fitted with 195 45 p zero neros aswell, really happy with the look, had a bit of rubbing due to being so low so sorted the rears by removing the arch bolts and the fronts have just started to rub holes in the plastic arch liner lol, has anyone removed theres?
so some pics of before and after what you all think opinions welcome and any thing else i should do? also i know the boot is a different shade lol

didnt like the gsi wheels tbh and they where fairly curbed with crap tyres, i bought the astra wheels off a mate they were my old ones and i intended to keep them as i liked the look but i seen the new ones for a good price and really liked the look and good tyres, may refurb them in the summer in a darker colour not sure if they would look right tho

lot's better the arch liner will wear away where the tyre touches it. Dont loose the liner else you get shit everywhere in the bay

cheers for the comments guys so if i just let the liners wear away themselfs it wont hurt then? tbh they are alot better already not rubbing as much, ive got 40mm springs instead of the 60's but i think it will ruin the look what you think?

40 is better for handling, but 60 looks the best
