Need help with 18x9.5 et48 in front

[pmerzlyakov]

Bought WEDSSPORT SA15R 18x9.5 et48 255/35 all around. Destroyed front rubbers from internal side by suspension.

Can you give me advice how to solve my mistake? I have eibach prokit, everything else is stock.

Now I know two options:
1. Only spacers 10 mm makes enough distance between wheel and suspension, but the wheel in this case would be too wide for stock fenders.
2. 235/40 did not help, it's just 2-3 mm narrower than 255/35

Have some photos of 255/35 and suspension

Use the 10mm spacers, then use aftermarket upper strut mounts (like Whiteline Com-C, or some other adjustable mount) to tilt the top of the shocks in. That will solve the fender clearance problem.

what Dan said.

either get a top hat that will pull camber and pull the stru away from the wheel or use a spacer (be careful with spacers, you may need extended studs).

OR get a coilover and that will eliminate all clearance issues.

This weekend tried 235/40 and 5 mm spacers. Just made fitment. Next week I'll get specers and will try to run this option several days on used tyres provided by teammate.

You should look into aftermarket coils, that clearance looks scary.

luckily everything is fixed, while its close it wont move because it physically can't. so you should be just fine, but for my personal taste, its too close for comfort.
