Rear Wheel Arch

The wheelhousing is comprised of inner and out arches.

Rear outer arch (4-door sedan)
Album 20475

On four-door sedan, the door indents intrude on the arches -- unlike two door models (including ute, coupe and 2-dr sedan). With large tires or wheels offset too close to the outside of the car it can rub against this indentation when going over bumps, especially with a lowered sedan.

Here is the place most likely to rub -- but on the inside:

To mitigate this rubbing, use a hammer to modify the sheet metal. Oan had 225 rear tyres on his sedan, and at first they rubbed on the rear arch. He used a hammer to mod the inner arch. It all depends on the wheel offset - even 185s will rub with the wrong wheel offset, but no rubbing at all with other offsets.

Take a ball peen hammer and start at the rear end of the bump where it is small. With lots of hammering and some finesse you can invert the raised area and gain quite a bit of tire room. Just takes time and makes lots of noise.

Sill

Sill is the lower plate of the door opening. Also known as the rocker panel. Sills differ for each body style. It also has the front Jack locating notch stamped in it. Sedan sills additionally have a notch for the rear Jack location.
