[Mk2] [Turbo] coilover fittment with 9" rear wheels?

Post by mr2_rich01 »

Hi Guys,
I have a rev 3 mr2 turbo and the standard suspension is getting on now, i have been looking at the BC Racing coilover kits but the car is running 17x8" front wheels and 17x9" rear wheels do you guys have any ideas if the coilover kit will fit without spacers? also i think the wheels are an ET35..

Kind Regards

the spacer part is what im worried about, the front wheels are basically flush with the arch and with the rears i had to roll the arches to enable fittment and again they only just clear the rear arch, im just worried if i get these and they dont fit i will be stuck with them..

Cheers for the replys guys..

17x9 with a 235 on the front sticks out a bit
