Koni Yellow fitment with 45 offset RPF1
 
How's it going everyone!

I have a set of et45 rpf1's on my car with HKS sp coilovers.

I want to switch over to Koni Yellows (not sure witch springs I want yet) but im not sure if I will have and clearance issues on the inside with the Koni's.

If anyone can clear this up that would be awesome. I tried searching but nothing came up with the yellows.

I know with the stock shocks people have clearance issues with a 45 offset wheel. I just want to know if that's the case with the Koni Yellows as well or no.


Thank You.

What size is the wheel? 17x7 no problem, 18x10.5 is probably going to be an issue. Somewhere inbetween is a question mark.

This thread is pretty much mandatory reading as far as I'm concerned.

Koni yellows are OE replacements, there should not be a significant difference between them and OE. You may need 3mm or 5mm spacers to get it to clear, could be harder if you're adding camber via camber bolts. Lots of pictures and feedback in that thread about how those wheels clear stock suspension but ultimately there's enough variance to not give a definitive answer.

I use 5mm spacers on mine to prevent rubbing at full lock (fender lining for me, not tie rod, lots of camber, I have coilovers and extended studs).

Thanks for the help, ill just end up running 3mm spacers most likely.

I was skeptical about tracking with spacers but I guess a bunch of people are doing it without issues.
