Suspension Will 18's rub with 1.5 inch lowering springs?
SuspensionSprings, struts, coilovers, sway-bars, camber plates, and all other modifications to suspension components for Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs.
I am going to buy the PIAA sport mesh 18x7.5 wheels with 215/35/18 Neo Gen tires. I was wondering if I would have any clearance issues If i had these wheels with a 1.5 inch drop. How is the ride quality? Thanks.
Most important is the offset. I'm running 18x7.5 42mm offset, PSS9 with 2" drop no rubbing. What you need is to add some neg. camber in the rear. My new set up will be 225/40/18 Toyo RA-1 R compound with some fender trimming for track/street. It really is not a big deal to do some trimming like most people are concern.
