Mike,

Difficult to say but I have some VZ's on my ED30 and that is lowered on Eibach springs. The only rubbing I got was a the Nurburgring whilst partaking in some spirited driving!  :innocent:

So for everyday use you should be fine.  :happy2:

Oh, and we want pics of the R on the VZ's please!  :party:

Nath, you can tuck up the screws in your wheel arch linings and also push up these linings. This has stopped any rubbing on mine in all 'spirited' driving conditions whether at The Ring or on twisties/roundabouts.

Obviously things like aftermarket anti-roll bars also help.

Yep aware of that but doesn't make any difference with the VZ as with the ET they have it's actually the bodywork/arch the tyre catches on  :happy2:

Sell some rims and buy a Haldex Controller with 3-way switch - It will transform your Mk5 R32.
