    I rechecked mine with my digital calipers, about .0900+ spacing. I would call that paper thin between caliper and wheel. lol

    I'm running 225/50/15 on my 89 coupe with Ronal LS. On H&R race with factory original fenders, no rubbing ever.

    No spacers or issues very slight occasional front rubbing on inside plastic fender, but only certain turns.
    That would explain the noise from turning sharp, lol. Guess is isn't a big deal. How close are your calipers to the wheel? Mine look like there's about 5mm

    I'd think ~ET20 would work fine for a 225 on a RWD car. 225 street tires are hardly pushing it for width, it's just a matter of offsets. :)
    I went with ET25. I guess i will have to do without a rear camber kit. Thinking i should have went ET20.

    What offset you running? Looking at the forecast I probably wont put snow tires on until Thanksgiving, unless i plan on going to Baker.

    Just wondering who's running this tire size. I currently have these on 15x8.5. How you like them and fitment on the car? I have front/rear fenders slightly rolled, it looks like I will have to seriously pull the rear if i use camber plates. Front not so much.
Working...
