if you fit spacers to the rear on standard suspension & the wheels rub the arches when you drive down the road they will still rub on lowered suspension as you drive down the road. wether the suspension is lowered or standard it still follows the same curve as it goes up & down.
But on standard suspension if the tyres were to contact the arches under load, they would have had to have been well outside of the arches to begin with and thus illegal, hence why you can't fit as big a spacer on standard suspension.
As the tyre raises over a bump it goes inwards and gives more clearance within the wheelarch.
Look at picture 3, Standard suspension Wheel and tyre outside the arch=illegal.
Picture 4, Car is lowered, means tyres inside the arch, and legal.
As the wheel rises over a bump it gets more clearance on the arch but less against the suspension strut.
We may have to agree to disagree, on me being right....
Someone else agree with me please...
