In 04 I stepped away from the 99 special edition eclipse and into the 03 Galant es 4 banger. I immediately noticed the wheel similarity and before I got rid of the eclipse the stock 17"s were sitting on my 8G. 215/55 all around and never had a problem long as the trunk wasn't loaded. Since I had the recalled rims and they bent to crap after an excursion with parking lot speed bumps I slapped on a set of Motegi 17's, still runnnin 215/55's. I just went out yesterday and scored a pretty sweet deal on some Yoko's, same size, but am leaving the tire shop with TEMPORARY wheel spacers :(
The bottom of the insulator (coil spring) up front bascially sits in the tire. Now im used to not have MUCH clearance, but never had it rub the tire before. I have no drop, though i am looking forward to getting RID of that nasty empty space up front someday. Is my suspension just worn? I see folks with WAY more wheel and tire under there than I and NO problems with rubbing. Please help.... I have been here for the last 2 hours trying to find a thread so I apologize if i missed it somewhere. Also thank you very much for the glove box fit, i thought for sure i was just doomed to deal with it for life!! Thanks much in advance!
