spacers make the offset lower, so no, you don't need spacers. ET25 is already a bit on the low side, but they should fit just fine with stock suspension and 205/55 tires.

Oh thanks for clearing that up. It would be pretty tight with the hr and bilstein setup then

[nando]

yeah it would rub over dips/bumps and with people in the back, not terribly but it could be annoying after a while. you could trim the rear flares and roll the fenders and it would fit fine.

[6A LDY]

Yeah that's what I figured.

Like a good neighbor nando is there!

[ludovic]

no, ET28 is too low for an 8" wheel/225 tire. you could maybe run a 205, but I'm thinking that would probably rub in the back anyway.

Thanks Nando, 16x7 all around it is, then !

15x8 ET25 73.1CB stock suspension, How tight would they be and would spacers help?

[nando]

Too low for an 8. No, spacers push the wheels out more.

Hows the strut clearance? I'm pretty sure with a 3mm spacer up front, you could fit 225s all around

Lets put this here also. Not my car, just see it in fb.



Rims are 16×8 et 18, tyres are 205/55/r16 toyo NA20..all season

Strut clearance is about 3mm (inner lip to strut). I definitely think you're right. It doesn't rub at all, which is nice, but there is definitely a hair of stretch with the 205s on the 8" wheel.

I wanted to run a 225 but the RS3s were back ordered again and I couldn't swing R888s just yet. Next time!

that looks awful. those wheels stick out at least an inch past the fenders.
