coilover problems help!!!!

hey people
need a bit of advise just tried to fit some jom coilies to my bora yay!!
but my wheels are rubbing on them bugger
ive got 19inch audi rs4 reps on it running 235/3519s.
so got to get some spacers in there but not sure wot thickness to go 4
as i dont want them sticking out the arches i will be putting narrow tyres on when these wear out.
im sure you guys have had this prob when fitting coilies on a mk4 base.
so wot size and wots the best make.

20mm hubcentric spacers should sort it, all depends on the offset of your wheels.

yeah been looking at them looks like the way forward.
cheers dude

no problems dude.

Snap I had same problem used spacers but now they rub on the outside a bit so going to put 215/35/19 on £102 each from camskill

whats hitting the coilover, the actual wheel or the tyre?

yeah that the size tyre im gona go with but not 4 a bit.wot size spacers did you get mate?
the tyre is rubbing but the rim is realy close matty.

Id say change the tyres then, but if you have room to space the wheels out then that cant be a bad thing to do. just measure how much room you have between the arch lip and tyre and get spacers slightly less than that, simple

I used 6mm mate they we just right they only catch on bad bumps in the road other than that all is good ! wind them down and off you go !

gona go spacers as got a few miles in me tyres left.
torn between 15mm and 20mm hubcentrics think 20mm may cause outer rubbing probs but think 15mm may still be close inner prob go 15mm and see. also matty dont want to sound thick but the coilovers are at there lowest setting when wound to the bottom of the shock body right!!

wot wheels you running low and slow??

yeah thats the lowest setting m8, what people often do when wanting to run low and have clearance issures with wheel/tyre hitting the coilover spring, is removing the helper spring (which is the smaller spring at the bottom) which then raises where the adjuster seats sit, usually giving enough clearance.

yeah that makes sense mate cause thats the bit rubbing. ive just gone 4 15mm which should be fine.
all a matter of trial and error i guess
cheers dude

19 inch RS4 reps on coilovers are yours the newer style rs4 or the older ?

new style mate

Mine are the old style and soon to be black with polished outer rim of the centre caps well thats when my cousin gets on with it !!!

nice!!! yeah im thinking about getting mine done black

Do it once you have had black you will not go back I think I am obsessed with the wheels I might add

well 15mm way to big to much poke!! so gone for 6mm spacers did you need new bolts low and slow????

No normal wheel nuts long enough I thought when you said 25mm I thought hello gocart

haha yep that was how it looked 15mm.
not 25mm
