It's rubbing the wheel arch, and only on really severe bumps. Under normal driving, I'm not having any problems.

If you want flush, I'd go with a 7mm spacer to have an effective offset of 33 - you can see from the pictures that it sits pretty flush. If you want to sit pretty flush, but have no rubbing issues at all, I'd get a 4mm -5mm spacer for an effective offset of 35 or 36.

Can't wait to see yours.

Since I´m getting my KW3 and new wheels after two weeks I have to ask about the rubbing. Is it rubbing to the wheel arch or to the suspension components? With the ET33 I guess the wheel arch...my rear wheels will be 19x9,5 ET 40 so I´m just wondering

Those wheels are looking good

Those rims are fantastic! I've never even seen that model before.

Thanks for the info
Just have to see first how it all works when I get everything done...but it´s good to know that there shouldn´t be any problems with that set up.

Thanks again everyone, especially the Godfather of XI

I didn't get a chance to take more pics today, but as soon as I do, I'll post em up.

By the way, where's the Godfather's apprentice - V, what do you think? Are you jumping on the suspension and wheels bandwagon?
