So I just started fitting the car with the APEX EC7 square set up...
18 x 11 ET 52 Satin Black wrapped with 295 40/18 Nitto NT555 G2 all around.
I've mounted 2/4 rims and tires so I can check clearances on the car, and can take pics of the different aspects of fitting these to the car.
Rear is Fine, plenty of room.
So far test fitted the front drivers side with Stock PP suspension with 20mm Eibach spacer, checked to be sure there was enough relief space to "pocket" the protruding stud after bolting the spacer on the hub, and there is...
First mount rim with no tire.
Fits over the Front PP brakes as advertised.
Clearance to the strut is like a credit card or 2 thick.
Second mounted a wheel with tire.
Spins freely and has no problem clearing the strut despite how close the rim is.
With the Stock PP Suspension the tire sticks out passed the fender a little in the front may be about .25"
(once I mount the other 2 rims and tires I will be making adjustments to the suspension)
I have a Steeda Coil over set up with camber plates which I will be setting up over the next few weeks ... as time allows to tighten this aspect up.
As suggested until I have the bits and pieces on for the suspension I am going to a 25mm spacer. Once fit the coil overs I will revisit the 20mm or smaller spacers if it can be made to work.
P.S. pics to follow... as time allows.
