have you much space between the tyre and arch?

I have the same set up on mine and have clearance not much mind. You sure its not your arb and driveshaft rubbing. Or the tyre rubbing the arch liner.

i have a fair bit

 

[ShaunieVW]

Space it away from the coilover so, This will also look much better! but you will need to space the rear also or it will look crap!!

i used a 5mm spacer and it was still the same

 

[ShaunieVW]

Use a 10mm spacer so! although 5mm is usually enough, what wheels are on the car? width and et?

there is rs6's on the car 225 and not sure of et

A bigger spacer will sort your problems so, i think you can get 8mm if you think 10mm might be too much on the front
