They're small... :p

No, the opposite may be the problem. You may get the tyre rubbing the suspension strut (front).

As a guide, i have an 8j on the front, with ET35 and a 5mm spacer - this was needed as the tire was rubbing(& being shreaded) on the suspension strut.

This is listed in the "Ultimate Wheel fitting guide" :p

I'm going to see what my 8.5J +32s are like for coilover clearance when I stick a 3mm spacer on. May JUST clear enough to drop the height a bit more :D

Paul, you shout be able to make them fit with ome spacers, but your looking at around 15-20mm spacers to pull it out enough

Nicely, youir wheels will be out past your arches i think, if they are not the spokes might, meaning you wont get much of a drop before the arches hit, +20mm front fenders needed :nod:

I have ET30 with 8.5J Te37 on the front and it fits prefectly, but the car is on standard suspension.

The tires is not touching the suspension at the moment but will lowering the car causes this to happen?? because I am thinking to drop my car next week :(

My tires rubbed the spring seat when i fitted 8j's ET35 & 225 rubber, they wore away the tire protector, fitted a 5mm spacer, making it ET30 and it just clears, and i mean just......

Ah well you should be fine, my car is quite low, but not to low to hinder daily driving (unless you meet a speed bump), its adjusted 30mm off the base of the Teins i have, Tein recomend 40mm from the base, the front bumper (although lower than the stock S15 one) it 100mm from the floor
