Yes but it depends on how much you are lowering it.

 

I ran mine with 1.6 alloys for a good few months & it only caught the trim when I had it loaded up with my track wheels etc for a weekend at Croft & even then it only took a couple of catches for it to wear away the parts that touched.

 

Still, better to trim them with the wheels etc off as you swap the beam.

Thanks for the reply, if it catches slightly then il trim it, i was going to take the trims off to spray blac or replace any way so its no extra effort!,

Cheers
