ive got 215/45/17 on the rear and no rubbing but when i had 195/65/15s it was a nightmare!
its all down to the offset of the wheels and the BRM replicas are rubbish when it comes to the ET, not much i can suggest except trim the arch a little. watch out for heat or your get the paint blistering :wink:

i bought some empi 5 from mws as id seen loads of bays with these wheels id thought it would be ok. When i fitted them on the rear they fouled real bad and so sold them on to some german couple.

You seen my previous on this matter with the probs I had, fitted 175 65's, if your going to cut the arch try and get a lazer disc they are only about 1-2mm thick and will cut quicker without the heat of a normal cutting disc.
Mine did clear after changing the tyre. :idea:

Good luck
