Another will it rub thread

kayfaz · 12-27-2013, 07:46 PM

I've recently got some MV4 alloys and planning to lower the car with H&R springs next week, however I'm a little concerned if it will be too low and whether it will rub....

Tyres:
225/35/19
265/30/19

Can anyone help?

No rubbing. You will have loads of room!

Room for some spacers too? Or am I pushing it now?

Btw i will be keeping my MSport suspension only change the springs

I believe the offsets for the MV4s are ET37 8jx19 for the front and ET39 9jx19 for the rear.
Anyone confirm that?

yup that's the correct offsets (source)...
and for spacers, i think you could have 15mm on the front and 20mm on the rear and be fine... best thing to do is put a piece of tape on your fender so a bit is hanging off, measure the distance from the tape to the tyre and see what you can do

Best of luck with those pearls of wisdom!

From experience I am going to say this wont fit at the rear. I think you could run a 15mm up front but it will prob rub on full lock on the wheel liner. The rear I don't think you will be able to go more than 12mm unless you get the arches rolled. 15mm with arches rolled.

LOL. Mate you can run 12mm all round. maybe go with 10mm on the rears 100 be 100% safe.

AJ you still running my old VMR's you bought, if so get some pics up mate.

gaza01 · 12-28-2013, 04:30 PM

MV4s are 9j on the rear. My wheels are 9.5j and im running a 7mm spacer with a 265 tyre. Its very close but no rubbing at all.

achu · 12-28-2013, 10:18 PM

i'm running 19x8.5 et28 225/35 on the front with loadsa space to spare, 8.5et28 = 8et22 so et37 + 15mm spacer makes sense... and on the rear, 19x9.5 et25 with a 255/30, and i'm pretty sure there'll be enough room for 265/30 with no fender work... 9.5et25 = 9et19 so et39 + 20mm makes sense too... i guess 265/30 on a 9j would bulge a bit... also i'm low enough to scrape on humps...

not saying i'm 100% right, just backing up my spacer talk lol... i would wanna be as aggressive as possible!
