Hi all,

I am about to buy a full set of new tyres for the MR.
Does anybody know what the biggest rear i can run with coil-overs.
Rear ET for the wheels i have on are ET27.

My MC came fitted with CSL Reps so rears were 9.5J x 19 ET27 and the 265/30 tyres didn't rub - well not after I took the spacers off anyway!

It was also on H & R coil-overs so about 18mm lower than standard.

Mine came with genuine CSLs with 265/35r19 tyres and only rubbed on hard cornering or in big compressions. This was on almost new OE suspension.

Went through my first set if arch liners with those.

My car currently runs OE 224M 18s with 265/40r18 on Bilstein B16, and only rubs in a specific 2 compressions at the Nurburgring.
