Any Rubbin? Eibachs+18x8.5 ET35 + 225 40 18

[QUIKSTER]

Hi All,

I'm in a situation where as part of a Spring promotion I placed an order of the KW v2 kit, however soon after placing the order I was told there is a 4+ week lead time, as they have been inundated with orders and are awaiting parts from other suppliers that make up the kit.

Was told it will be ready to ship w/c the 15th July, but only yesterday got the news its now pushed out to Aug 16th (No Guarantees)

I'm now considering getting refund of my £1200 from Larkspeed, which there happy to do and go for the Eibach springs and B4 shocks and pocketing £700.

My only concern is will the fronts rub on my current wheel/tyres set up on the Eibachs.

Fronts are 18x8.5 ET35 with Mich's 225 40 18.

Some pics of current set up.

Probably yes... but possibly only on heavy compressions or enthusiastic cornering. The tolerances are fine and variables such as tyre tread depth (ie new tyres vs part worns) can make a difference, but on et38 wheels with eibachs and msport dampers, I've had minor rubbing
