VY monaro
I have a 2003 monaro, it is sitting on 19' vx gts wheels with 245/35 tyres and ultra low suspension. My rear passanger wheel is about 1/4 inch closer to the guard then my rear drivers side tyre, because of this my passenger side tyre rubs the guard when ever I go over a bump or accelerate hard, it is just hitting the guard where as my drivers side is perfectly fine.

I do not want to roll my guards but would it be possible to fix this issue if I adjust it with the toe adjustment fitted to the car?

Cheers

Not sure why you would be looking to adjust the toe.

A camber kit in the rear may help thought.

Just roll the guards. Easiest and cheapest option.

+1 for rolling the guards. It will be the easiest and cheapest option by far.

Have U thought of taking it in for an alignment and getting the camber adjusted? One wheel sounds fine so U would think it has a camber kit.

Had the same issue with 17's in the vx. Rolled guards with no issues afterwards....

I would have a panel shop roll the guards...paint can crack and peel if you do a home job.
But rolling guards will be best.

Just use a heat gun and heat the paint up before rolling.
