What tyres do you recommend? I got my wheels from duchy last week, in 8.5 and 9 and fitted 235/55r18. Its lowered 65mm on koni/h&r from crs. But my sliding doors touch on both sides and my fronts stick out pass the arches.
Im thinking that the higher profile is causing the tyres to bulge in the middle causing the problems, and been looking at either 235/45r18 or 225/50r18.

Plenty of tyre talk when we first started discussing on the thread at the beginning, we put widths and tyre sizes / suspension set ups with a picture so everyone knew what does / doesn’t work etc.
 
@fezza68 thank you for the pic mate.. mine completely rub thats its difficult to fully open the doors.
I take it these banded wheels are done on a jig so they all come up identical?

I’ve currently got 9.5” rears on 255 45 18 tyres and when I had H&R lowering springs the door caught ever so slightly, it’s also a carpet lined door so slightly thicker, I’ve since had SoLows fitted and this has eliminated the issue probably due to more camber and being tucked in, no rubbing at all.
 
Id imagine all jamies wheels are done to his spec and all uniform. Are you running spacers,or as @DWS says it could be your camber?.

You could see if anyone is running 255/45/18 on the same banded amaroks near you and try a swap over. I think its your tyre size thats causing the issue. Get a straight edge and put it to the edge of your wheel and see how wide the gap is at the wheel arch. Il do the same tomorrow when its light and we can compare. Im also running winter tyres which are the same size but a squarer profile and they still dont catch.

Cheers mate.. im east london/Essex area if you know anyone.
Im not 100% sure what you mean with the straight edge so I might wait for your picture first

more than likely the 55 profile that’s making them quite a fat tyre if you know what I mean?

Thats what I was thinking, some other pictures I've seen the tyres look square/straight with the rim of the wheels and mine bulges out alot in the middle.
 
I ran 9.5 banded on the rear and a kiravans door store in the door and they used to just catch so I took them off. I was 30mm lowered at the time.
I then changed to b14's lowered with more natural camber and put on 9" rears and they were fine
I was running 255/45/18 on all sizes 15563528185258527207422954976699.jpg15563528928004979391757658393429.jpg
