H&R race spring, will this rub?

domsaywha · 05-23-2010, 06:39 PM

I have 18x8.5 et40 in the rear with a 25mm spacer. 235/40/18 tires. Sooo that makes it et15 in the rear? I plan on getting H&R Race. Will it rub?!

Much appreciated

hard to tell without knowing your tire size. you going with a full tire or a stretch?

anyway ET15 and hr race just sounds like it is going to rub. if it were me i would buy the springs and wheels first. mount them. measure the gap and buy the appropriate size spacer to push the wheels out to fill the gap.

my tires are 235/40/18. I stupidly bought the rims then the spacers, then about to buy springs =/

i hav et15 with a 245/35/19 on a 19x10. the car rubs sometimes but nothing to bother me. i figure the smaller combination would be fine

only one way to find out!
well 2 ways, 1 is to do a calculation
2 is to do it and see.
The good thing about your setup is you can easily sell the spacers if they rub and get smaller ones that suit your application better

is your car an e90? then you might be ok

e92 - going to rub without a fender roll.
