Now when I bought these i was under the impression they'd fit no problem but as I understand it I need to muck about with spacers etc. i got 10mm for the rear but I've a feeling I'll need a 5mm for the front?

did any of you (conleth or Evlxge?) have rubbing issues with the 18x9 on the front? running 265/45?

i haven't got the tyres fitted yet. #needtogetthefingerout

Not 265/35/18?

nice one, I hope you are right. rims and tyres are on the west coast in my parents house, CSL is on the East coast might sort it out the weekend of the 17th although I doubt too many mechanics will be working that day in Ireland

you're right barry, not much usually happens then, apart from

hopefully getting my coilovers looked at this weekend then TDs should go on with no spacers on the front. will see how close it is and put some pics up.

There are no issues on both coilovers and standard suspension on et 30. I have ran both

I also ran et20. Rubbed very slightly on high G corners, but I mean slightly,

This is et20 with 10 or 12 mm spacer.

makes me want to buy it back.

The wheels fill the arches just right, where did it rub front or rear.

Not 100%, iirc front and rear, not worth worrying about though.

I had arch rub on the front on et 26 18 x 9 td pro race 265 35 18 yoko a048s, it was this ring trip, not worth worrying about, but just on edge of front tyres. It was only down the fox hole, but I was'nt braking until after the compression so I was motoring

That takes some balls, CSL, thats a gps 150+ mph

et26, thats a strange offset for the td pro race 1.2, I thought they only come in et15, et20 and et30.

Your previous set up in the Oulton pics was et20 front and rear with a 10mm spacer on the rear, slight rub, was that on the front or rear.

I only ask as Ive ordered a set off 18x9 et31 and want to space the wheels spot on. Thinking 3mm front for et28 and 20mm rear for et11.

TD can et whatever you want, I customised mine based on previous trials.

My et 20 had 10 mm rear spacer, so et 31 with 20mm spacer will have yours 1mm further in than that photo at Oulton and your fronts 8mm further in.

Im happy with my et 26 front and et 16 (with spacer) rear that Im now running.

I think the et11 might just be borderline. As Im sure my rears caught very slightly. But as I always advise, try yourself. You are running firmer suspension than my KW clubsport, so should have slightly less lean. Try for yourself, and you can change spacer size to suit. You are also running cups, all tyres have slightly different sidewall thickness.
