will be running BBS LMs 18x8 +50 18x9.5 +55 225/40/ & 265/35 on RE01R's. i have koni yellows with oem springs ('02) so the car is dropped only .5 inch.

any thoughts and/or opinions on whether there will be issues with rubbing...

thanks

 

Review the wheel/tire fitment guide at the top of this forum, it has the info. you seek. Are you running the UK alignment?

 

thanks... duh - i am such a bonehead. i will search and read a bit first the next time.

as for running UK alignment... am not sure what this means. currently have the AP1 US OEM specs for alignment.

 

Run a search for the UK alignment, gives a little more room running more neg. camber. There is a lot of info. to digest in that forum, but it should give you the answer(s). I feel confident your rears will clear fine, the fronts may have rubbing on suspension compression where you are turning. A little added neg. camber might make the difference, hopefully someone will be along to give a better evaluation of your set-up.

 

you will be fine... i am running a similar setup.. the front might rub a little (you might want to go with a 215 up front)... i have the same wheel, tire & offset in the rear and no rubbing.. im on tein springs (about a 1 inch drop)

 

I would say a little negative camber and maybe roll the fender lips. The 255/35R18 on the rear will be safer.
If I can help with package let me know.

 

update - yes there is rubbing (in the rear)...

am trying to schedule for the rear fenders to be rolled.

in summary:

BBS LMs 18x8 +50 18x9.5 +55 225/40/ & 265/35 on RE01R's x Koni Yellows x OEM AP1 springs (on lower perch of Koni = 1/2 drop) = Rubbing

 

i can't decide if i should get an alignment first then get the rear fenders rolled.

 

Do you think that if you went with the 255/35 in the rear it would have fixed the rubbing in the rear?

 

i think so... but the wheels i purchased from Dark_Sub_Rosa already had the 265s on.

i did have the rear fenders rolled moderately - but it needs to be rolled just a bit more.
