I just got my car back from an engine swap and when I tried to put on my Z32 TT wheels the front ones hit the coilovers (Tein HE). I always thought they would fit without a spacer....guess not. Should've figured though with a wider wheel and higher offset. I guess my question is: Has this happened to anyone else and what spacer did you use? I'd rather not get anything bigger than 5mm, but im not even sure that will be big enough.

i dont even think the tt ones clear the stock struts in the front. ive seen em run with a 15 mm spacer, you might be able to get away with 10. search around at zilvia, quite a few people with em over there.
The TT Z32 rims are the same in the front as the N/A Z32 rims (according to www.wheelspecs.com). For now I've got the TT rears and SE fronts on. Anyway, I think it will take at least 10mm too. I just hoped someone else had success with a 5mm spacer. Thanks.

oh i thought you meant you had the tt's all around, my mistake. maybe you could get away with a 5 then, cuz the 7.5's clear stock stuff fine.BKdaMoRoN said:
