Rim rubbing on PSS Spring
So I just installed some PSS coilovers but my rim is rubbing on the spring.
It's a popular problem and looks like I need some spacers. Anyone experience this or know what size spacer to go with?

5mm should do the trick. What are your wheel width/offset and tire sizes?

Kosei K1's. Offset is 40. Running 235/45/17's. The rims are 17X8.5
I have M3 strut mounts as well as spindles for added camber which doesn't help.

Anything 5-10mm will do the trick.

Awesome, thanks guys. Any idea where I could get some quick? I take it I should go with Hubcentric, but I don't have time to order them online. Might as well do a stud conversion while I'm at it.
I was thinking JRP?

I had a similar issue with my CO but all I had to do is rotate the spring...one very expensive tire later.

Too bad I have to be away during all of this. We could have just tossed my 10mm ones on.

Ended up putting a 12mm on the front and some 5mm's on the rear. Worked perfectly.

Yeah its actually rock hard but still comfortable. I thought they were going to be on the soft side. I'll take you for a spin when you're back.
