The quest for "Flushness" using AP2 OEM Wheels!
#1053
hey guys, kind of a noob here, i have a berlina 2002 AP1, lowered on tien mono flex coilovers. i dont know much about fitments and such for these cars. i have researched and still havent found the answers, any help will be much appreciated.

i just bought ap2v3 rims going too put them on my ap1, i want to lower the car more, and tuck the slightest bit of tire all around,
tires are 235/45/17 fronts and 245/45/17 rears.
my question is, what modifications will i have too do in order to not rub? the car will be driven a few times a week.
im also not going to run any spacers just yet, as for front tire sizing, is that too big? i was thinking of getting a stock size 215/45/17?
any help appreciated.
thanks

JPark, are your fenders just rolled or did you have them pulled also? What are you camber settings?

i rub on hard dips.. but its manageable. v12's should be fine, rs3's come wider than most regular tires. I used to run michelin pilot sports in 255 sizing with my spacers and same alignment spec, i had ZERO rubbing.

As my first post on this site and trolling for some time. I must say this has to be my favorite thread. A lot of tastefully modded autos. I'm after that OEM++ look my self, but have been on the fence about wheels. But the stockers I must say look damm good with with and nice spacer and good tire size. keep up the good work.

My quest for flushness began today. my fenders have been rolled and slightly pulled, and the rear bumper tab has been relocated. Spacers are in route, hopefully ill have some pictures by the end if the week.
