    16x9 et15 front fitment

    Hi

    Anyone got some pics on how a 16x9 ET15 wheel looks like fitted in the front? Any rubbing issues say with 215/45 tires?

    On a 16x9 wheel the et will need to 10mm so it wont hit your strut. 215/45 will work with a fender roll;)

      So the rims will stick out the side of the fender?

      Anyone got some pics?

        this is 16x9 et 12 with 215/40s. they just barely clears the coils, so you won't need 10mm spacers to clear. fenders are rolled with no rubbing.

            I also run a 16x9 et15 with 215/40 and no spacer. Still have enough room to clear my bag. :)

              Thanks for the pics.

              Does having normal (non-coilover) suspension or coilovers make any difference to wheel/tire clearence?

              Thanks

                Any more pictures and info on the 225/45 setup as that is what I want to run with my 16x9 ET15 wheels but I'm told it wouldn't work.
