I searched already a lot in this forum, but I couldn't find the right answer.
Today I test fitted some 18x8.5 ET45 rims which did not clear my PP front brake calipers.
So to clear the front PP brakes I will have to add a 3mm spacer.
Effective I will have a 18x8.5 ET42 front fitment.
I'm lowered on the European Eibach Pro-Kit (E10-15-021-02-22), which is about a 0.75" (20mm) drop.
I was thinking to get 245/40R18 tires but now (with the 3mm spacer) I'm unsafe if it will fit without rubbing?
Will a 235/40R18 my better and safer alternate?
What spacer size could I run on the rear wheels?
Anyone who has pictures of a 18x8.5 ET42 fitment on lowering springs or coilovers?
Thanks in advance!
