Heya, i've recently put a new set of 15inch honda jazz alloyz on car, with 195 50 15 tyers and they seem to be rubbing on my mudgard. But i've seen over polo's with the same wheel size and they still have the mudgard on with there alloys. Do i need a lower profile??

Lower Profile will help.
Or you could remove the mudguard?

Dunno like, iv heard by taking mudguards off it causes alot of stone chips along your door etc, obviously that'll be the front guards.
Wouldnt lowering it take the highest point of the tyre away from the bit its rubbing on the mudguard?

i cant see how having 15's will rub against your mud guard :S but anyway your better off with lower profile tyres lke 45 or 40, or like the others said, just take off your mud guards

Booo!
Dont take off your mudguards...
I took mine off for a short while until my rents were driving behind me on the motorway on a rainy day! Then i drove behind them in my car and it wasnt nice.....

Being in London mate you shouldn't be too far from R-Tec in St Albans.

Out of interest, where in SE London are you? I'm in West Wickham, near Bromley. If you're anywhere near Croydon though, my Dad has a tyre shop in Mitcham. He'll do you a good price on some new or part-worn 195/45/15's.

His site is
http://www.mitchamtyres.com/ there's directions in the "contact us" button at the bottom of the page. You'd probably want to talk to my dad, but he's off until Thursday. It'd be better if you went down after then, as he's offering £40 for one 195/45/15 Falken tyre, or £160 for 4, fitted, balanced etc.
