    Should these fit? 180sx 18x9.5 Et30

    Hey guys,

    Bought a 180 a couple weeks ago and picked up some wheels to go on it. They are 18x9.5 and the offset is et30.

    When i fitted the fronts they rub off the standard front shocks, so i purchased coilovers as they are alot narrower than the standards, but im still getting a small bit of rubbing maybe 3-5mm.

    Cant figure why they are rubbing as i was pretty sure this was a correct fitting offset and width. Have i got something bent somewhere or do i need spacers?

    Any insight is appreciated!

    Lewis

    ET30 at that width will be tight. I had to run a spacer on the front when I had my Works which were 17x9.5 ET28 to stop them rubbing the coilover.

    There is often a bit of slack in the top bolt hole of the hub > coilover as well which cambers the wheel in. Worth checking that.

    What size spacer did you run man? Just hoping 5mm will be enough as i dont think 10mm spacers would leave enough threads for the wheel nuts

    I ran a hubcentric 6mm which is the max you can get away on standard threads.
