Silver! Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yours look to sit further out on the rear. Are you running spacers? What et are yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 25mm rear and 5mm front I think the advert said. They do look like they stick out loads, so not surprised you had scrubbing. Looks good with the wheels spaced out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Wow, 25mm on the rear; I have 17mm on my Bathursts as they were rubbing on 20mm. I remove them when I put the RWs on, though as I said I was considering a set of 10mm for the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see how it goes after I fit coilovers, though I'm told the fk high sport don't sit too low on the rear. They sit quite well for 25mm but will rub if you don't change the profile.
