Hi I've ordered some 8 inch wide 15 inch wheels with an offset of 25 all round, does anyone run this size wheel and Coilovers? I've searched but can't get a definite answer whether they will hit the coilover strut or not.
My measurements say it should be ok but someone on here must run that or a similar combination.
Seems a bit of a noob question but just want to put my mind at ease.

Clearance between strut
Re: Clearance between strut
To be honest, I think it depends how lowered you are.
Afaik default wheels have 45 offset, im running 7j 15" borbets with 35 offset and they have a fair amount of room, although I couldn't tell you precisely.
8j=20.32cm
/2=10.16cm
+.25(posi offset)=10.41cm, so you've got just over 10cm between the bolts and the inner rim.
If they do fit, let us know!
If they don't, get spacers!

Re: Clearance between strut
Some wheels arrived but rimstlye actually sent the wrong wheels but with the correct tyres i put the front coilovers on tonight and fitted the wheels. But it started hammering it down before i could finish the job so here is a quick look at them.
They are ex8's instead if ex2's and et30 so have loads of room between the strut and wheel.
After looking at them for a while i think im going to keep them as they do look pretty good on it.
