Thanks. I love the look of these wheels.
The tires are a different size than I've had in the past. I've always ran a 225/45 on an 18, but I found a set of 4 Dunlops for 180 bucks used for less than 50 miles. I pressed my luck a bit and went ahead.
Since I will have the AED kit on it, I don't plan on lowering it (maybe eibachs lol). So the taller tires are nice to fill the wheel gap and keep from hitting the kit on driveways etc.
However, they rub.
Only in the back, on the strut perches. It's so minimal I could grind the perches a bit without fear of ruining their integrity. OR I could run a spacer, OR a set of washers since it's literally like a millimeter I need.
I used a washer set for the time being. I did it on a set of Konig Monsoon 18's for a LONG time way back in the day. The wheels I got from Len & Susana when I picked up my kit long long ago. Those wheels came from Bens98gagt if anyone remembers that car.
(and one of these days I'll remember to resize my pics lol. Sorry.)
