Take it up to 25/30mm lowered and get some 15"s!

wont that make the back lower than the front?

Then adjust the rear to match...

indeed!

 

without stiffening these up with higher poundage springs front and rear with appropriate dampers 25-30mm is about the limit for most pugs.

 

if you 17"s rub regardless of the height, they're either too wide (usually the tyres not the rim) or have the incorrect offset (probably too low if they rub on the outer arch) running too low and too soft will exacerbate the issue.

Block of wood and roll the arches back

Get the right size wheels for the car

 

16" is the biggest that work realistically on a 306. Unless you have a Dimma that is.

 

15" works nicely performance wise.
