15's, kunhos, and questions.

[91_festy_Gl]

Ok so I have had about half a dozen pm's about the 15's I put on my car. Pm's asking about offset, rubbage, and all kinda of other questions so I figured I'd throw up this thread and maybe it would answer a few Q's. The tires im running are 195/50/15's kumho ecstas AST's. The rims are momo's with a 37mm offset.















I tried to get as many requested shots as possible. If there is any questions about certain pics let me know and I will try to help. My tires do rub only because my struts are shot. When turning sharp in either direction they do not rub at all.

Thanks could you get a pic of how close they are to the struts in the rear?

Sorry my camera just died but here are 2 more pics. Im using aspire rear struts.

On the top picture there is about 3/4" from top of tire to bottom strut hat. From the inside of tire to the strut there is about 1 1/4" of space. Thats on the bottom pic. I tried to get a few more pictures showing the space but my cam died.

You stated that your tires do rub because your struts are shot. Would I be correct in assuming that with good struts the gap would be a little more. I have 14's on mine and believe the d/s rear strut is bad, because my tire rubs everytime I make a right turn, the p/s isn't rubbing as long as I doin't have excess weight in the back.

I still have the festiva struts on, but am going to change them in the near future and just trying to find out which one's are my best option. I have read to use Aspire Monroe struts and that is my plan, unless someone has a better option.

You are assuming right, well assuming the same as me, but ya I believe I messed up on the rear simply by using junk struts and festiva springs. I think I may aswell go with aspire struts and springs front and back, then open the fender wells up a bit and lower it.
