as the title states Ive installed my cks coils up front and my rims are rubbing the spring perch. I know this is pretty common but the strange part is that I have 10mm spacers up front and it still hits? any ideas ? ive tried to search and everyone seems to be fine after they run at least 5mm -10mmspacers


the size and offsets up front are 20x9 et25 + the 10mm spacer witch brings it
to 15mm

could this be install error any help is very appreciated I will snap pic tomorrow

 

well you are running a 9" wide rim up front, and may need a thicker spacer??

 

do you think this could be it? could it also be something to do with it being out of alignment. I couldn't even take the car out of the drive way because it hit so hard.one side of the car however is sitting about two inches higher I didn't have time to re adjust since it got dark.

 

the strut just slides into the spindle pocket and is clamped down. there really is nothing to adjust. unless i'm missing something about the coilovers you installed.
are both struts the same, or is there a left and a right? installed the right way?
and the rim rubs all the time?
pics would be nice.

 

Everything fit fine thats wats really confusing me. Ive installed other coilovers
On different cars before.im thinking it could be that the car is uneven i will even things out today
And take pics. Yes two front rims are the same

 

i'm runing 20x9 +24 up front with a 10mm spacer bringing it to +14.. dont have any issues with or without spacers, and i'm dropped on bilstein coilovers - I am within few millimeters of the shock body without the spacers and adding a spacer just gives me a lot more space.. is your shock body that thick? post a picture

 

snapped a quick pic of where its rubbing. I also adjusted the front evenly and it rubs less but im still a
little stumped of why it rubs. it rubs against the second spring collar

 

It gets really tight up front when you run wheel widths +9". I had my v2's installed and I had to install 8mm VAC spacers on my 20x9 et18mm wheels to finally not have any rubbing issues. Here's a pic prior to the spacer.

 

thanks for the help man so would that mean that your offset is 10 mow with the spacers? i think im going to go for a 15mm up front now and make use of my stretched tire . so my 10mm bms spacers may be for sale on the site if theres any interest bought them literally 3 weeks ago

 

this is my work in progress
