Running 14" bottle tops shod with 195/65 tyres, on full lock in either direction the tyre catches the inner arch. Specifically the plastic bit which seems to be part of the undertray that runs across the car in front of the engine. Also looks like the outer edge of the tyre may be catching the forward part of the inner arch, the plastic panel with hole for brake cooling.

Control arms are new, I can't feel any movement at the wheel, top mounts don't have any play I can feel. Any ideas? :)

Not lowered and inner arch is intact and in the right place.
