Rubbing with 215 Tyres, Lowered on Eibach Pro Springs and 15/20 mm Spacers?

  1. My model of MX-5 is: __2016 Sport Nav ND
  2. I’m based near: __Edinburgh
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __215 tyres Rubbing

Who’s not rubbing with 215 tyres, lowered on Eibach Pro Springs and 15/20 mm spacers?

Struggling to find much clarity on this. I’m about to have the springs fitted, along with the staggered 15/20 spacers, with standard 17” wheels and tyres, but I’m also considering going for 215/45 tyres. Will they rub? I’m aware that some tyres are slightly wider, so which ones work best? Or is the best solution to just get decent 205s?

Thanks folks!

Konig wheels 17x8 215 -45 Brigdestone tyres fitted with MeisterR suspension fitted 20mm spacers all round set up by my self checked by the local garage every thing ok no rubbing …As yet :wink:

What offset are the Konigs please? That looks just about perfect and if you report no rubbing, is perfect :wink:

Yes…
