A mate of mine has a 2wd Sapphire Cosworth on Gaz Coilovers. Currently he's on standard wheels but the spings are touching his tyres.

Is there somebody who knows a wheel that would fit the car better? He wants to stay on 15" if possible.


Thanks

 

Most 15's do this i think, mine used too.
Without running spacers or a crap offset, its always going to be an issue i think?

 

If they are just touching the spring on the fronts, put on 2 or 3mm spacer and job done.
I'm running 3mm spacers on my 17" road wheels as they are 8 wide et35 and just touch, no big deal. Spacers lower the offset et of your setup.

 

Thanks for the input, I'll pass it on to him

 

I have a Sapph on Gaz Golds and there is a few mm between tyre and spring - also on standard Sharktooth alloys. As said, a wheel spacer is the easiest option but maybe tyres with less bulge/stiffer sidewall/more pressure?
