Hey matey,

I was running 18x8.5 rims 215x35-18 and running pretty low on coilovers without any rubbing issues, even 3 up in the back!

Best place for pics is on tyrestretch.com, they have every wheel and tyre stretch combo going...

Eewww... Dotz

There is some rubbing not to bad

ET35

I had to run a 5mm spacer on the fronts to clear the coilovers, but that was all...

there the wheels that i might be getting .what u people think ???

if i did have to space out , do u have to do front and back ,ie the callum said he put 5mm on the front would u not have to put 5mm on the back?????

Nice looking wheel.

I had to fit a spacer as the outer rim of the wheel was just catching on the edge of the front coilover, 5mm just clears it.

There is nothing for it to hit on the back! The strut and spring are out the way!!

You could fit spacers on the back also if you wish, but you don't have too.

thanks for the advise so far every 1 ,to save getting spaces would it be safer to go for a bigger off set ie 32 insted of 35,or is that a bit dangeorous ?????

et 35 Works just fine wit me

im not catching on any part of the coilover

Et35 will be fine for you, I only had to run spacers because of the coilovers.

If you're not running coilovers you'll probably be fine!

i am lowewed but on shocks and springs,
