how low have u people gone with 15mm spacers and 17's? ... ive just fitted coilovers but its rubbing on the rear and there is a finger gap between the top of the wheel and the arch.... wheels are et35

 

[Daz_gibbo]

17" about 60mm on FK's!

 

[Rick-24]

well what offset are your wheels? u got 15mm spacers on aswell? how much gap between wheel and arch then?

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Wheels are the correct offset. I remember when purchasing. 15mm eibachs theres room, wouldnt say bags though. Rubs now and again if going over large bumps

 

[Rick-24]

well mine are et35....and i can get my finger between the arch and the wheel... still rubs tho on bumps and like powering off round abouts, its like scraping the side of the tyre which wont do it any good. cant imagine wat it will be like with two up in the back. might try and raise it abit, tyres are new so quite tall with them being full tread compared to my old ones

i find this is down to how "square" the walls of the tyre are

when i bought my alloys i had cheapo tyres that came with them that were square as hell when looking at them (pretty much flush with the alloy) and they rubbed like sh!t on 15mm spacers

however, on decent rubber and where the walls on the tyre are rounded/slight curve to them, i am convinced these will work fine (yet to try)

a few peeps seem to be running them fine with 17's (including yourself)
