I've tried 205 and 225 fronts and these both clear (225 just though). I have put together some DIY front coilovers that run a much smaller spring to give more room on the inside. No idea what clears the stock spring perch. On the back I have 16x8.5" with an offset of -2 and 225 tyres (nice and square on 8.5" wheel). I've rolled the lip very flat and have an adjustable panhard bar to keep things centred. I have tall 225/55 tyres too but I'm tempted to go with nicer 225/50 size next.
I've seen a lot of 240s with tyre width in the 245 range on Turbobricks. Too much for me as I like 225 for predictable wet skids on the way home from work.
Ok this is part of what I find confusing...
I thought that I would have to have an ET of 25 ( or 20 still not sure ) on a rear wheel drive 240 and not any other ET number without using spacers ( that are illegal in NSW I believe ) to make the suspension and geometry bits happy but then Gingernija says his offset -2 and 5 ,???.
I thought that would bring the wheel too close to the inner "bits" of the suspension etc. and interfere and rub on the "bits. " .
If the ET is say 40 then have to run with spacers but if it's less than 25 ( or 20 ) then.......... then what??
