coilover clearance

[luey02]

people say wheel clearance gets smaller for coilover setup?  Or wider wheel can fit??  Bottom line, wider or skinnier wheels can fit on coilover assembly compare to stock setup?!  Anyone know?  by how much?

thanks

well with my coilovers i have the stock 15 inch steels on there and in the front it only clears by like 1/4 of an inch, i mean you cant even get your finger in there.  in the back it clears by plenty.  so up front to get wider rims you must get the right offset like +35 or less and/ or get spacers and for the back im not sure how wide you can go and still clear but it isnt much of a problem like the front.

Hey what sup , loey02

If you have coilover, don't even bother putting on anything more than 42 offset in the front. Remeber the RX7 rims that I have ? They don't fit in the front , I need a 20mm spacer to get a safe clearance.

which rx7 rims do you have? the FD? do you know what the offset is on those? My friend needs that info

also, 42offset definitely wouldn't clear it. You're gonna have to go down into the ~20mm. If you have access, go check out an Option or Carboy magazine, most of the setups have C/O and they tell you specfiics on the rims they got as well.
