Anyone running 225/35/18's on thier Esc Cos? I was thinking of changing my fronts to this size to try and stop the tyres from fouling the shocks(Koni's).I was wondering anyone using this size if this has now cured the usual rubbing on the koni shocks? And are you still running 40's on the rear?

cheers

Rob

yep had this problem, also put a post up about it not so long ago,

I have 225/40/ 18. w/ koni's, and 5mm spacers and was still rubbing, so took to the suspension cup with a club hammer and seems to have sorted it out.

but going coilovers soon, so should get rid of this problem all 2gether.??
