im running the ADR cypher, with 35mm offset. my suspension setup is
racing beat springs front and rear
tokico illumna shocks

tires are 23540zr18 front
and 27535zr18 rear

I have no real problems with rubbing, except for the fender liners on the front. that is mostly attributed to the racing beat spring rate(definitely not the best)

on my last car, i had the eibach pro kit, and it fit rather well. No rubbing issues whatsoever.

Well, either your offsets are not what you think they are, your tire sizes aren't what you think they are, or there's a major problem with your car. You are running an improper offset. Most of us are running wider wheels up front with higher offsets and don't hit the inner fender liner at all. You keep saying it works. WHY? It doesn't, you are rubbing even with almost no suspension loading! There are many of us running wider fronts with no rubbing in track situations. Now you tell me which setup "works".

Nice comment, it shows about the same level of intelligence as you do by suggesting a wheel fitment to other people that doesn't work....

blah. I feel so disrespected. DAYUMMMM!!!!! This isn't the place to speak like that. We simply pointed out the contradiction in your prior statement. Either way, suggest what you will, it by no means will be at our expense. We are here to volunteer our proven knowledge and if unappreciated is a service we need not offer. This is one of the reasons I left the board for like a year and a half.

IMHO, and nothing against the guys who have them. But ADR's don't belong on FD's, seriously. Unless they are superlightweight, of proper width/offset, and are mad cheap. I'd use them for soloII, but never soloI. I'm an idealist. If you're gonna do something, do it right. Don't half step your mods. Don't cut your budgets cause you bought a car you can't afford to modify the "right" way, or completely. If you're gonna build your car make it a well balanced one. Ya I said it. I did.

I don't like rolling fenders, cracking paint, or sacrificing any comforts. I do like maximum width, retain stock tire diameter, and as near to stock offsets as possible. These are the ideal of your most renown wheel gurus around these parts. Guys like,

We're like a gang of pocket protecting wheel gurus. Watch out or we'll spam you with our "tire calculators". lolzzzz/

On a heavier note, we emplore you to run a good +40 in those widths. I'm sure you can pull it off by running a tire with a very rounded sidewall and all this stuff.

alright you guys!!~~~ I'm the one with the ADR M Sports and they FIT!!!!~~~ Gambit is right!!~~ He drove my car and I own my car.... IT FITS!!!~~~~ So stop assuming because I actually tried and tested them out. Roll your fenders and you will be happy.... but yes you will rub when you turn the damn steering wheel all the way... but how many time do you do that??? Well.... I'm happy with my setup so be nice to gambit!!~~~
Here are some pics for proof... ladies and gents thank you for your time~~~
I will be here all day~~~

I have the same set up as above. Except, I run 225's up front and 265's in the rear. Yes not the best ratio in regards to front tire width vs rear tire width. I have pettit's ebiach springs all around with the original '94 r2 shocks. I have zero rubing issues in the front. And only rubbed in the rear once on a tight turn with a bump. There is no question that these rims are heavy and not offset friendly for an FD. When I bought my adr's I was not very familiar with wheels and what would be my best options. In my opinion the adr wheels look good, handle fine for street use (Cam at pettit has driven my car with no negative comments) and they are very affordable. Looking back on it, I should have just spent the money on better rims (lighter, stronger, and correct offsets) and not let the difference in price get in the way, like SpeedKing, ARD T2, and rynberg have stated and always state. When it comes down to doing it right, they are correct! However, to answer the original question.....if rubbing is your primary concern and your dad wants to keep the rims he bought, then 225's front and 265's rear would be a cheaper alternative than rolling fenders and buying coilovers. Rynberg, to make up for my adr's short-comings, I atleast wrapped them with toyo t1-s Hope this helps people out........
