whats the absolute closest the rim can be to the coil?
Does anyone know, i have a 18x8 (as you probably know), and its about 10mm~13mm away from the coil, havent tried on the rubbers yet, what do you think, will i have any problems, or will i have to get a spacer, this problem is only in the front, not the back.
its +40 offset btw

eT 40 is gonna rub most probly and its gonna look like poo run some 15mm spacers maybe even some 20mm and you should be cool

If its a 40et... you are going to get a rib running around the tire. I had this happen to me.. I went 8mm spacers front and its all good with clearance... If you really wanted the wheel inside the fender you could probably get away with like a 38et! (meaning you would need a 2mm spacer)

What do I mean? Rib isnt the correct word... EDIT to Groove!!!
With a 40et and coilovers, and the proper tires on those 18x8 (225/40) you will run into the locking collar cutting a groove into the tire!
On a sidenote, do you have any idea what you are doing?

im not doing the wheel guys are....
where is the locking tire... i dont think there will be any problems, theres 10-15mm space between the coil and the rim.

i have 17x9.5" wide wheels in the front
et55 with 37mm adapters
17mm offset in the front on a 9.5" wide wheel. i cant get a credit card between the wheel and coilover without using alot of force...but this is with a 17" and stretched tires....
