HFP Suspension with 18x8 Wheels?

Moonkei · 11-14-2007, 05:12 PM

I'm looking into the HFP suspension but I wanted to check if I'll have any rubbing issues with these wheels (18x8 +42 offset 225/40/18).

Should be fine.

So I dont start another thread, what about the HFP Suspension with 18x7.5(215/40/18 rubber)????

I have the HFP suspension (with Skunk2 rear camber arms set to -1 deg. neg. camber, stock front set to 0 ) & 18x8 45 offset w/225/40/18 rubber. (I still plan to dial in some more front neg camber...maybe -1 deg. or so)

Currently it WILL rub under EXTREME suspension compression but very minimal. 42 offset should be ok.

For my mods see here:

Well from what i have seen on the 18 inch HFP wheels and the Mugen SI wheels the tire size is 215/40/18, so no i believe you should be fine.

Nice, I'll prob. order this soon then.

BTW, how is the install on this? Is this something do-able like coilovers?

Oh gees!...it was a piece of cake! It took me about 1.5 hrs. total.

On a side note...you may want to look into getting some adjustable rear camber arms. With the stock pieces you will be around -2 deg neg. in the rear.

You will be ok with the HFP drop.
