DGT86R 6 Report post Posted August 22, 2018 Hi Guys, Having a bit of trouble with the wheels I want up front. They are 18” 9.75J ET+20 My car is wide bodied so I need them to fill the arches. I’ve tried 30mm spacers and they make the wheels flush so I am happy with that however, I want to be sure they won’t rub on the suspension before I get tires fitted. The previous wheels were 18” 9.5J ET-34 with 225/40/18 on...new tires for new wheels will be the same. I’ve attached a pic of the distance between suspension and wheel...I did measure it and I think it was about 2 or 3cm I can’t be sure. Would any of you guys know if they will rub? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if you have 3cm to play with now AND use 30mm spacers, you'll be very close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DGT86R 6 Report post Posted August 23, 2018 Hmm, I imagine it being tight. According to that calculator, my new wheels compared to stock (215/45 17” 7J ET+48?) will be 20mm away from the suspension which gives me confidence. Might just have to try it and see what happens!

DGT86R 6 Report post Posted September 1, 2018 Just in case it helps anyone, 18” 9.75J ET+20 with 30mm spacers on 225/40 just about fits (not road tested). Not close to the inner (suspension), but close to the front and back of the wheel arch...very close but I’m confident it’ll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
