18 X 8 Speedline Corse - On A Classic

[rallyfever]

Hi Guys,

My heed is aboot bust, I am trying to get my new speedline corse 18x8's to fit on the rally car, it has proflex 3-way suspension on it and the inside of the wheel is rubbing on the strut. I already have a spacer on it and don't fancy adding another on. Anyone got any idea's on how to fir these bloody things. Paid about £1,850 for the wheels and tyres (6 of them) and don't wanna waste them.

Be my saviour and come up with a plan stan!!!

Cheers

Gary

I had the same problem with my track car, when the geometry was set up properly the wheels were rubbing on the Bilstein struts......after going through several cheaper spacer options..the only thing that worked was a pukka Eibach Competition wheel spacer kit which brought the rims out 15mm and included new extended studs and everything...lovely piece of engineering....and they fill the arches fantastic...looks great...

my wheels and tyres by the way were Speedline Corse fitted with Pirelli Asphalt RE7 tyres 225/625(45)/17

hope this helps...although not sure about 18"...
