yeah it is def tight. really tight. but coming from an import background, we just make wheels fit haha. had a test fit of the ones on my R33 they have a 255/40 federal 595 which are known for being a wide tyre. and i gotta say, it looks amazing.
the edge of the rim will sit 10mm in. i wanted it flush but would be a head#### to make work. obviously the lip still needs to be rolled
got about 10mm room on the inside too. little less where the seatbelt nut mount is, but will cut that out and plated up
also test fitted the rear coilover to see if i could get it to work... negatory... i wanted to re-make the mount/tower so i could run the whole assembly. but the spring will be too wide, so i'll be making my own lower trailing arms (need to anyway to clear the wheel) anyone know good rates for these? i have 8kg front springs, and 5??kg rear, but i think these are going to be too soft being mounted 3/4 along the arm...
they fit sweet without the spring and seat, a comparison to the stocko shocks
one thing i'm going to try is to lower the lower trailing arm mount. has anyone tried this on a commodore? you can get bolt on brackets for sprinters/corollas that do it and you gain a heap of traction by fixing the pinion angle and improving the trailing arm angle.. it will end up about 110mm off the deck, but the pivot point will be 25-30mm lower than the front one.
here is what the sprinter ones look like:
and coilover spring width
what do you plan on for a power plant?
