I bought some 450h alloys for my wifes 400h, noticed that the tyre clearance between the top of the tyre and suspension struct is barley 12mm.

The wheels have been on the car for 2 years without any issues, I only noticed this recently when needing new tyres.

1^st tyre shop said struct never moves and it shouldn’t be an issue.

2^nd alsmost said the same

3^rd it will take a fully loaded car and a ditch in the road for the tyre to touch and  cause a blow out.

2^nd tyre shop also advised why not for fit 235 45 19 tyres instead of 235 55 19 to increase the clearance….will the car look really odd with 235 45 19 profile? Should I go back to standard wheels? I also have the option of 235 50 19 instead of the current 55

Heres some pics.

Thanks for looking

Hi All

Looking to smarten up the 400h with subtle bodykit (front spoiler) , anyone purchased one of these or can point to one that has been used and tested.

Anyone know where to purchase the elford spolier like the one in this forum.

cheers
