Question: How much extra space do we have between F/R stock wheel and stock suspension strut? Would a wider wheel that is 26mm closer to suspension strut cause rubbing?
A friend has a set of 9Jx18 ET42 square setup with 235/45 tires to sell and I'm wondering if this setup would work or not.
It seems like the front wheels will be 25.7mm closer to suspension struts whereas the rear wheels will be 8.4mm closer and poke out 4.4mm more. In the attached pics, orange lines denote the recommended stock setup whereas green lines denote the 9Jx18 ET42 setup.
