Hi all,

Got Tyres 195/45/ R15

And also got coilovers and ive been advised they may very well be slightly fouling the tyre on the inside, if anything by a mm or two.

Anyone reccommend any spacers and what spec would i need?

Cheers

First thing is to find outif they are catching or not rather than going off guess work. What coilovers are you running and what offset are you wheels?

Bear in mind that whatever spacers you add it is prudent to extend wheel bolts by the same length, you want 1.5 turns of thread hanging out of the back of the hub thread ideally.

If you have a helper spring you could also look in to removing that so your spring seat is higher.
