I've fitted my new suspension kit today and the wheels won't fit!! It touch with the suspension, Im putting a 5mm spacers on all wheels tomorrow. Anyone with this problem?

Depends how wide your wheels are. Mine used to do this, until I fit some 5mm spacers.

Try to avoid anything bigger without fitting longer bolts, or things can snap!

you should use 195/40/16 tyres too, as this will be less hassle.

the problems not the profile! its that 195!! with 5mm spacers the larger bolts are necesary?

What offset are the wheels - could well be the problem. Your wanting a ET35 offset for best fit.

How much is the car lowered by also?

the car its lowered about 40mm, I dunno how it's the offset, but the rims are 16' from the mk6 fiesta 7 spokes, fords original.

thats the prob... they're over an ET40 offset IIRC

[Spanish_1.1]

yes, it's not too near of ET35:cry:
but I think with a 5mm spacers it'll dont touch with the suspension, Still waiting for that spacers..

i have the same problem, but i havent replaced or altered the suspension.
My wheels are 195/45/16 and the noises are weird as hell. it's like cracking and that. when you lift your foot off the accelerator on the motorway it gets worse, but if your foot is right down its just like rubbing.

Waiting for a 5mm spacer.

My problem was the offset as AdamB sayed, my alloys have a ET49.5mm and I need to change to a larger studs and put some 15mm spacers to get the 16's on. look to the offset of the wheel.
