    Default Trouble fitting wheels.

    Bought a set of wheels that are 18x9 et32 roughly, got them for my s15. My problem is that the wheel sits up against the coilovers therefore the cars unable to move my only option was to raise the spring up out of the way and drive with it raised about 3inches. Is there anyway around this with out using a spacer? Any idea what size spacer I have to use to fix this? Thanks.

    there ok now though yeah ? with the spring up out of the way...? id imagine 10-15mm would be grand then, jus to get the clearance when the spring is down like..that means your wheel will be out another say 10-15mm again, do you think u have that kinda space to play with..
    u might need to roll ur arches then...

    you should know by hold the wheel in place making sure you keep an even gap
    around the disk and measure the distance, id just get 25mm spacers and sort the arches to suit

    Not much of a arch to roll up front on the 15 tbh and the rears are already done but only the front I'm having trouble with.

    Don't want to change the arches as I have a standard kit and I won't be changing for a aftermarket one.

    theres many ways out of it, get a couple of different spacers if possible
    trial fit them and if your having trouble with the arch stretch the tyre and pull the camber in on the topmount
