@Tourershine is your man. I run a 8.5 on the front but i run a 255/45 with no rub at all with a 320mm
My mistake. I think my wheels are 8.5 and 9. Will edit
Then I don’t understand why I am getting so much rubbing on same wheels and smaller tyres and 55mm higher.
@CRS Performance
There's a few running those spec wheels and low on here isn't there? Who's the chap with the white one running banded amarok18's and solows? Tag him in this.
I guess you can manipulate the liner out the way with a little heat.
Finally joining this club... Had to happen one day 
Thanks to @Tourershine for the assistance
Just need to sort some tyres now...

Is no one willing to help me by putting details of wheel/tyre size and drop and if there is any rubbing?
Whip the wheel off and see where it is rubbing.. I’m pretty sure it’s your tyre size that is doing it.
Me and @fezza68 are both running 255/45 and have no rubbing and both low
@RedUn if you look at @fezza68 bus, that's the exact size and tyre I recommended and they look sweet on his. You really have to try F1's to realise just how much of an all round brilliant tyre they are. Still my number 1 brand to date.
@68martin68 as I said to you on Instagram, they genuinely look so much nicer against that colour when you mix in the chrome you have on the wheels and the chrome you have on the van.
I will be back in the Team shortly. Duchy is banding a set of 17's for me right now, I've just got to decide on a colour. I know 17s are much smaller than my usual steels, but i've ran 18s and 19s, so fancied a change. Plus my new lows on my 20s are making life a little more difficult on day to day driving, so a bit more profile on a set of 17s will give me back some practicality. Plus I've always loved the 17" GP style in none banded, so banded just makes that even better.

@Skyliner33 I’m running 8.5”/9”, 18” Duchy banded Amoraks with 255/45/18 Dunlop SportMaxx tyres on SoLows on their highest setting and have no rubbing at all.
That is a lovely looking setup!
Cant believe that’s the highest setting
not a chance I’d get away with that with her indoors 
She thinks mine is low! (I correctly followed policy and informed her that it isn’t low enough!)
I had it lower but my wife decided to pull off my front splitter so had to raise it and I had enough of the mud flaps rubbing over every little bump so I also cut an 1” off them.That is a lovely looking setup!
