    Front wheels touching shocker

    Hi guys having a little trouble my front wheels they are 17 x8.5 and with 10mm spacers the tyre is just touching the adjusting nut on the coil over. Now obviously I can’t use the car like this but I really love the wheels now I could go for a bigger spacer but would adjustable arms help in any way? Does anyone have any experience with this and could they point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance

    Cant see how adjustable arms would help mate the coilover is always going to move respectively with the hub/wheel i had same issue and had to go to a 15mm spacer!

    Did you have to elongate the holes?

    Alright till you go into positive camber! !

    Fit longer hub studs & a hucentric 15mm spacer. I had this on my old s13 & the coilover locking collar milled a lip on my wheels.

    It was on an s14 with the 14mm bolt holes so I chucked some m12s in to get me home then a mate gave me some eibach camber bolts it only needed a degree or so to clear till my spacers turned up

    You don’t have to elongate the holes to use camber bolts
