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

[GazzaG60 0]

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

[GazzaG60 0]

mine did.

 

the spring mount caught into the side of the wheel/tyre.

if yours are clear thats good but mine weren't.

umm got to phone them this week, so will double check with them.

 

what size spacer u running?

[cheesy 0]

They are either 7 or 7.5 width,

 

the clearances have all been left with bodyshop to sort

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!

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....

[cramer 0]

if they are 7" wide, et38 will be fine, for a 7.5" wide, et35 is recommended

[Chris VR6nos 0]

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.
