Thanks. I agree.
I leave town for work on Thursday, so I won't be measuring this week. If nobody know the answer, I'll have to buy some adjustable spacers, probably from PBM, and maybe locate some donor shocks. That would save me the shop time associated with taking mine apart.

Once you get into track-set ups, alignment, corner balancing, specific class requirements, auto-x, big meaty set ups, etc then this becomes more in depth. If you're looking for that in depth of info, http://www.ft86club.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=39 would be better suited.
If you're just trying to bring out 17x7s with 215/45s out more, it's one of the most basic things you can do. |
I understand that. Once you start moving them out, you're eating up that room though. It's like running a wider wheel. Yes, you have space on the inside, but you aren't using it. You're chewing up your outside clearance.
I searched every section of the forum for the information I'm looking for. Including google. I found nothing.
I appreciate the info about having lots of space to play with, even lowered, but I could measure static clearance in a driveway... I care if something rubs under compression. I would like to retain full suspension travel, because I use all of the suspension travel. Otherwise it's not worth doing the mods.
Also, If we determine you can space it out 20mm, that means you can run a 20mm wider wheel, and change the offset to compensate, because we know the inside edge is safe, due to the location of the stock wheel. Kill 2 measurement birds with one stone.
