Coilover clearance

[Ravey_Cupra]

Installed my coilovers today with new top mounts and bearings on the front with new bushes on the rear...

I now have an issue with clearance between the coilover strut on the front and the inner rim/tyre of my Porsche D90 which is 8x16 ET52 and im using 25mm adaptors.

Has any experienced similar issues..if so what was the remedy?

Any advise is appreciated.

Run bigger adapters.

Due to the offset and width,running bigger adaptors was going to be my last resort.

I have 30mm adaptors on the rear so I'm going to swap these with the front and hope it gives me enough clearance...fingers crossed.

30mm! fook me

If 25mm go on the rear will be after some 10 or 15mm spacers to sit the D90's out further to match the front

Arch rolling will be required soon

What coilovers are you running as I've got Weitecs and D90s waiting to be fitted and I'm worried about what adaptors to run.

AP's with 8" D90's all round running 195/45/16 Toyo Proxes T1Rs.

Oh I should be alright then, I've got 6j for the front and 8j for the rear.

6j will be fine
its only due to the width of the 8s and the offsetthat they catch!
i have 8s (D90's) all round on mine and 20mm front and 30mm rear adapters but im gonna put the 30mm's on the front and get some 40mm's for the rear!

Sorted now...removed alot of -ve camber and have approx 5-10mm clearance between the rim/tyre and strut.

Also got myself a pair of 9" (D90's) for the rear, on my 30mm adaptors they give me 1" of poke

Will get pics up shortly.
