wheel clearance

[Trip]

Is this clearance between strut and tyre acceptable and safe? they are the rears with maximum negative camber using camber bolts. The pic is of the car on jacks. I wonder if the clearance changes when put on its own weight.

You might find that once you let it sit down on its own weight it might drop a little closer to the tyre?

My set-up is a little like that, however that's when its sat under its own weight.

I'd just drop it down and see how far it moves 1st.

I wouldn't worry about it, i've got even less of a gap than that since going upto 225 wide R888's and they've never rubbed anywhere ;-)

Use it and see if you get any rubbage....:lol::lol::lol:

Actually they are 225/45 R888 running on 16's, 8" wide and 30 offset.

I will put it on its own weight and recheck and i'll take it from there.


Thanks for the input.

Trip I think you should have used a 35 offset....but don't bother it isi exactly the same on my R and I've never had any problem......and I drove it also through muddy roads and 3300 km from UK to my home town
