Finally got my hand on a 2nd hand set of et streets to test fit, short answer yes they fit. long answer they rub when turning hard and are very very close to the guard, mind you these are bald ones so i would think a new set would rub all the time.
lj 4 door.v8, Standard height king springs, Im not sure how much its been shorted but it runs a 9inch, rubber bushes on lower boxed trailing arms, standard upper arms and 15x8 wheels, 3.5inch backspace with 225x6015 for street dutys and they are fine with no rubbing. ive done a bit of reading around and come up with a few questions.
will 15x7 rims offer any better clearance wise, the 15x7 only come with 3.5inch backspacing as well.
seen some talks of spring spacer to bring the rear up, while this is the cheapest and easiest im not sure if i want to use that as a permanent solution unless someone whos done it can convince me other wise.
I will be putting a spacer under the springs to start off with which bring me to the next question of how big of a spacer=how much lift? and spacer material? i do have access to a lathe to make up some alloy/steel ones if that is suitable material.
Im in sydney, if anyone has 15x7 wheels with 235/60/15 tyres on them i would love to come test fit them to my car.
not sure why it posted the same pic twice, lost a bit of paint where it was scrubbing, and yes there's more clearance on one side then the other partly due to driveway on a slant.
Thanks
