Hi all, first time here :)

I've just bought new 8j 16inch wheels which sit nicely (not too close) in my arch however the suspension travel causes them to rub quite badly at times.

I'd just like some help as to what springs to get, I don't want to lower the ride height, just have less travel or stiffer springs so that the rubbing doesn't occur without ruining ride quality too much. any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks, josh
