3.3TT Eibach springs and new summer wheels...

[Corleone1]

Hello, Sweden here!

I am about to mount my Eibach Pro Springs that should lower about 1" and also go for 20" wheels.

Rims Size :
10 x 20", 40 offset + 8,5 x 20", 38 offset

Tyres:
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, 275/30 x 20 alt. 285/30 x 20
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, 235/35 x 20 alt. 245/35 x 20

Need some advice from you guys that runs same size and offset and what you recommend for me, any problems, suggestions... I dont want to have a set that have small clearence! I have no problem with that tyres will make the car some higher, its a good combination to low by springs and get some hight back from tyres.

Thanks in advance!

This is the rims I have been looking at: Its like a Vertini and concave in tinted black. Clean and simple.

I think your front wheels will be very close to the strut at 38mm.

These are test fit photo of my 20x9” 32mm (winter) wheels at full droop. I ordered my summer wheels at 20x9” 30mm and they still have a flush appearance and no rubbing.

My winter tires are PS A/S 3+; summer tires are PS 4S. (245/35r20 and 285/30r20)

I noticed the contact patch of the A/Ss are a little wider and more squared off than the PS4s for a given size. The PS4s therefore clear a little more even at 2mm more poke (which is admittedly very little difference).

On NJ roads I have taken this suspension from full droop to full compression with no witness marks on the front and a hint of contact on the rears of the A/Ss. I’m running H&R springs on OEM sway bars.

Thanks!

I can get spacer then if its to tight, maybe just 3-5 mm will do. As you said Michelin is a bit rounder so I will test. The rim I want dont have 9" + 10,5" so I have to go for ½" less rims, 10" back and 8,5" front. Therefore the 235/35 and 275/30 tyres. It will do and also have the exact diameter to.

I must have looked at your specs wrong. 8.5” will have plenty of room at 38mm. My mistake.

Actually my mistake... I did change post from 9 to 8,5" as they cant delivery 9.

Eibach springs is in! Now the car handle as it should, very good set. Together with subframe collars and bolts it feels a lot more precise but not uncomfortable and to hard. Eibach did lower car 22mm (0,87") in front and 17 mm (0,67" in back).

If you don’t already have them, I’d get the Eibach Sway bars too. That is a game changer around corners.
