!5"m rims rubbing help

Hi I'm a new Mk1 Cab owner and loving it(most of the time) . I have just lowered my car with some jamex springs and some bilstein shocks and seem to be expierienceing a little rubbing action(ooh err) on the rear. I have some rather nice ATS cup alloys 15" fitted with Pirelli 195/50/R15's and I can barely get my finger between the tyre and the arch, so goes without saying they seem to rub a little(alot). can anybody tell me what I should do ? Should I change the tyre ? or should I have the inner arch rolled ? ,  it only needs a couple more mm clearance ! Help  

awaiting your reply with anticipation  

how about some 195 45 15s? should sort out your clearence issues

could be worth getting a body shop to look at rolling the arches, it can be expensive to get it done well thou'

I would also look at getting some 45's as well,  it will handle better and accelerate quicker too…even better if you have to replace some worn tyres and have to get new ones anyway

Thanks for all your replies, I think the tyres may be the way forward as I cant afford to spend to the money on having the arches rolled .
