Whats going on here? I must be going crazy ....

I installed megan coilovers on my s5 gxl (full t2 swap) and now the s5 t2 wheels wont fit ??? WTF .. I was pretty sure the stock wheels should fit considering these coilovers were made specifically for my rx7 ?

Won't fit how?

it happens. Might be due to ride height.

Is your tire or the rim hitting the spring perch or locking collar?

For the most part MacPherson strut suspensions lose backspacing with coilovers.

5mm spacer should work. Are you running 225/50 on teh stock rims?

im running 225/50/16 ... i threw on 7.5 mm spacers and it just barelllllly cleared it. We are talking maybe 2-3mm. I think its hitting the perch. I also think if I drop it a bit lower, it'll give me more clearance correct?

I also threw on a 17 x 8 + 35 wheel with 225/45/17 on the otherside .. with a 7.5mm spacer, and its still rubbing, just barely. So if I'm correct, I should be looking for wheels that are 17 x 8 +25(or less)?
