| Not Ranked : 0 score No need for a spacer. I too am running 18x8.5 but are et48 with 245/40s. Iam 3mm closer to the front strut then your setup and I have no issues. I had to roll the rears on stock suspension. I thought I could get away without a roll and my poor tires paid the price. Since you stick out 3mm more you will rub more. Can't wait to see them on the car! |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score This is going on a speed 6. Not sure how similar the wheel wells are, I am fully expecting to have to roll at least the rears. |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Yes, I have gone through more fitment forums/threads than you can shake a stick at. It was sure alot easier to find speed 3 fitments that work than it was for the 6. I'm 99% sure it will all work out. I definitely didn't create the thread to find out if this exact setup will work or not (its a little late to be asking anyway). Please don't go down that road. |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Finally got them mounted on the car! Here are a few shots. The iPhone hardly does it justice. As far as fitment goes, I can still fit a finger between the front strut and tire so it is all good up there. Just as I suspected the rears will have to be rolled, it rubs when fully compressed. Finally the rubber looks proportional to the cars size... |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score These Scion tC wheels? They may have pairs of spokes as well, but that's where the similarity ends. |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Hahaha, I figured someone would pipe up about the ride height. It's on the to-do list. I will have to be more thorough with the fender rolling in the rear if I do end up dropping it. |
