i had a T1r kit with stock wheels and it was close. didn't rub or grind but it was very close. Much better piece of mind with 17" wheels now

Again, the point is to consider the benefit/cost of grinding the bolt. Cost to grind is at most 10 mins on your back with a dremel. The cost of damaging your wheels is..well, much worse. Grind out more than "1 coin" of clearance.


Or don't grind it. Then when you attend your first track day, wonder what that scraping sound is when you take corners aggressively.

No, they fit fine... I now have 17's but I drove on the ap1s for months without issues, and I beat my car harder on the back roads of north Carolina than I would expect most to dO on the track. the newer Megan arms fit just fine and if you have clearance, you will be fine-but I did check quite often
