Tokico/Eibach/Bullitt combo conflicts...
Hey guys, I installed some Tokico Blues and Eibach Pro Kit springs about a month ago... got some new wheels and tried to put them on today but had some problems! They are Bullitt wheels from a 2003 mustang. I have 255/40-17 on the rear and 225/45-17 on the front. The front tires are rubbing the struts (not the springs) pretty freakin bad... I didn't even tighten the lug nuts because it was so bad. I had always heard that mustang wheels and these tires sizes fit perfectly. And the Tokico's are pretty popular struts so I thought I'd be in the clear... I guess I'm going to have to get some spacers, but has anyone else ran into this problem with this setup?

i had the 17x8 32 offset wheels in the front. with the coilovers there was tons of room.
coil overs make room, but i think it would have fit without, different size wheel maybe?

Yeah, I figured out what the problem is... the guy I got them from said they came off a 2003, but I checked the back of the wheels and the offset is +45! They came off of a newer (05+) Mustang... at least I didn't have to pay anything for them.
