[Mk2] [Turbo] Will my rims fit on the front if i change back to stock suspension?

Post by Matty_GTS »

I have been running with Apexi N1 coilovers but want to change back to standard suspension. I have Enkei RC5 rims 17x8j (et35) on the front and 17x9j (et35) on the rear.

I have changed the rears back but not the fronts yet as i am not sure if they will foul on the oversized bilstein shocks!? Don't really want to waste a day in the cold.

Any one got any idea if a 8j rim on et35 will fit with standard shocks?

Cheers

I have an 8j on a et42 on the front, needed 3mm spacers to clear. Does that help?

Oh they're 17" too, on stock suspension.

Yes it will work,have have standard bar the Apex springs on 17x8 front and 17x9 rear both et35. tyres are 215/40 front and 245/40 rear.

Would mind trying 225/40-17's on front but can't seem to get that size in 452's
