18x7.5" rims w/a +42 offset, Yokohama Parada 215/40/ZR18 tires. The car is dropped 2" on GC and has a camber kit that brings the front to -1 degree. No rubbing unless the wheel is turned of course.

I can't figure out how you guys did this. My GC's with Koni's rub on the rear right side when making shape turns and sometimes at very high speeds (100MPH) you can hear it over bumps.

How do you guys have your koni's set?
Mine are set Half turn to hard to prevent the bounce, But do you guys thing that the weight of my system is making it do that. I have been looking for a shop to roll back the fenders, but here there are not too many.

Thanks for your help,
Mark

I have my Koni's set all the way soft. The perch height doesn't matter because the GC determine the height. It's the wheel offset and tire size that make the difference. You simply must have a +42 or greater. Once you have this minimum offset, you need to get 215 tire to prevent rubbing. Some people run 225 and have rubbing problems. Also, keep in mind that if you have wider rims then you need a higher offset to compensate. Example: a 7" wide rim with +42 offset will probably fit, but if you mount a 8" rim with the same +42 offset it will probably rub. Offset is measured from the wheel hub, so you need to compensate for extra width. Generally you will have to buy expensive Imported rims to get a 8" rim to fit. My rims are actually 7.5" wide with a +42 offset and 215/40/ZR18 tires. Ask anybody that's seen them, you can't get any closer to the fender without rubbing. Only a car key fits between my rear tire and the fender. It tucks behind the fender when going over bumps, but the space between the outside of the rim and the inside of the fender is too small to get my finger in there. I should post a pic, but I dont' know how.

Fut has an 8.5 inch rim in width with eibach springs and koni shocks 225/40/18 and his doesnt rub or scratch...why is that?

High offset rims. probably +52 like the ones you can get of Rays website. Japanese rims.
