i have a 96 wrx which has eibach pro street coilovers on,these were on it when i bought it.
problem is, i bought some wheels on here and when tried to fit them they were rubbing on the suspension
we have raised the suspension to get it to clear but surely i should be able to run the car as low as i want without it making any contact?
are they fitted correctly? has anyone else had any issues?
i have been recomended spacers but surely i shouldnt need them?
cheers

So you fit bigger wheels and tyres, then wonder why it hits the LOWERED suspension ?

If it hits the damper body you need spacers, if it hits the spring seats you need smaller wheels and tyres or to raise it.

so i guess no one on here runs 17" wheels on a lowered car
i wanted to know why they hit and if they are fitted right? i have owned a few cars on coilies before and never had this issue so is it just a subaru thing?
cheers for the reply

Offset is wrong or the rim is too wide for the car.

QED

48 offset and came of a classic mate,so guess spacers are the way forward?

Are they rubbing on the springs?

What offset were your other wheels?

What width are these wheels and what width are your other wheels?

Thanks
