Yes tyres can be funny like that, some are more square and others more rounded.
I think your car looks perfect with the ride height, that's how I like it.
Apologies for reviving this old thread yet again but I have been looking at some wheels which are 15x8 et0 with 205 55 15 tyres. When I did some measurements, it look at though they would clear the arches without rubbing but would stick out.
I have stock body and suspension and would like to know if anyone is running the same and whether the protrusion is there. These are the wheels I'm considering. Really like the look of them but not sure of the fit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autostar...527848?hash=item3437cdb668:g:z4EAAOSwZGxf04rA
