VP COMMODORE SPAC
On my 92 vp spac commodore, the front tyers are rubbing on the front strut. (Where the spring sits.)
When I'm driving it's rubbing and letting off a burning smell (it's taken chunks out of my inner wall of the front tyers.) How do I resolve this issue? I'm running 16s, do I need to go down in size? Or is there something else I can do to fix the issue...?

How wide are the tyres? The offset might not be right and possibly a rim issue rather than a tyre issue.

You will need a 225/50X16...The 225/55X16 do tend to rub on the base of the strut......

Personally, I have VX 16" wheels on my VC....By me running a 225/50X16, it allows clearance
