LCI M Sport, Ebaich Pro & 10mm Spacers .... Confused

Depends what tyres you are running too.

But I'd get an alignment done first to make sure the geo is not out and causing the issue.

If all ok then could be the tyre make as some tyres run a wider shoulder than others.

Are they rubbing all the time or just under heavy load?

Pretty sure it will be the tyres pal, I had 265 wide Pirelli's that rubbed on the rear so sold them & bought some Toyo's in the same width but they were much narrower in the flesh, also the sidewall was more tapered unlike the Pirelli's that were very square.

The LCI is also around 12mm wider at the rear than the pre-LCI I believe so that will have an impact.

Details below of what I went for, bought them from Tyreleader & have found them absolutely fine although I don't drive like an idiot so they aren't pushed to their limit.

Went for a quick spin this evening, it seems to just be the driver side rear catching over speed bumps & when going over crests at moderate speeds

Taken them off this evening anyhow
