Coilovers and offset question
Just picked up a 250c want to stance it nicely , first question is are the coilovers convertible specific or will the other is models coilovers fit ? I'm aware of the weight difference but wondering more about the actual fitment. Also if any of you have some pics with wheel offsets and widths that would be amazing I've been looking and haven't found to much info. Looking to go as flush as possible without rubbing willing to roll the fenders if needed. Thanks in advance guys
Coilovers are the same with BC, not sure of others but guessing they are. The spring rates for the rear are different. I am running 19x8.5 +32 front with 235/35, and 19x10 +38 rear with 275/30. These were pretty flush but would rub depending how low I am. The next size tire smaller would be less trouble. I have Megan Front upper control arms to put some negative camber in and Megan rear camber arms to do the same for the rear. Once I hit the amount of camber needed at both ends I haven't rubbed in a very long time. I just lowered it again this weekend and put a little more Neg camber in just to make sure I have no issues. I will have to take new pictures to show the difference. I did not roll or pull and my tires have over 17K on them and have no issues.
I also have FIGS front lower rear control arm hard bushings which I believe help with the tires. You can read my sig at the bottom of my post to see what I have done to my car. I might have gone with a little more offset If I had known more when I started this trip, like + 36 front and + 42 rear but I'm not sure would have to talk to wheel makers to see if these would work on car.
Here are some pics. The pic of the tire is with 17K miles.
