W3RKD 0 Posted July 27, 2003 depends on how much you have lowerd the suspension ? they will fit fine but if lower'd you might need a small spacer to stop rubbing on the strut on the back unless you have coilovers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzaG60 0 Posted July 28, 2003 yes fits fine. needs a 5-10mm spacer on rear with coilovers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheesy 0 Posted July 28, 2003 GazzaG60 yes fits fine. needs a 5-10mm spacer on rear with coilovers I've just had 18's et37/38 fitted and running coilovers and from what the bodyshop have said they won't catch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzaG60 0 Posted July 28, 2003 mine did. the spring mount caught into the side of the wheel/tyre. if yours are clear thats good but mine weren't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris VR6nos 0 Posted July 28, 2003 My vr6 uses 38 offset as std i believe but i am using a 35mm offset with a 7J 205/40/17 and no probs! Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted July 28, 2003 i think if you have 7j wheels and an offset of around 35 ish you are not going to get rubbing probs it only when you go wider or a lot lower offset when the rubbing occurs.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cramer 0 Posted July 29, 2003 if they are 7" wide, et38 will be fine, for a 7.5" wide, et35 is recommended Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted July 30, 2003 Cramer, spot on. The higher the ET figure the more they dish in and the lower, the more they stick out which may be better but can catch the arch lip if too low or soft suspension. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
