Jaymic 35mm springs all round, kyb gas inserts front and bogs shocks at the rear. Cosmic mk2 13" et 25. Rubbed/ shredded on 185/70s at the front, so stepped down to 165/70. No rubbing now but I'm a bit worried they look too small.

Is anyone running Ireland Engineering stage 1 springs and 15x7" wheels?  If so what tire size? Can you post a pic?

[SydneyTii]

Love those Cosmic wheels but et25 shouldn't rub with 185's imho, can't you roll the lips on the arches? Maybe 60 series tyres would work? Lovely looking car btw,

Also Jaymic springs seem to lower the car by more than 35mm, I like the way it sits!

Seems like square set ups are normal on here. Wonder why more people don't do staggered rears! I have a general idea what I'll order some Rotiforms in but would like to see what a good staggered set up looks like on a non flared 2002. So far I'm looking at either 15x7+12 all the way around or maybe 15x7+12 in the front and 15x8 +15 in the rear.

I believe it's the issue of period correct wheel options. It's hard enough to find a good set of wheels in say 15x7+12 these days that are the right look. So to find two sets of identical wheels, one slightly wider, sounds like a difficult task. Unless you get say, Rotas or some remade 'retro' style wheels.

I'm running 15x7 et 25 up front and 15x8 et 20 on the back with standard arches. Think you might struggle with a smaller offset without stretching.

Apologies, replied to the wrong post:

Also forgot to say I'm running Lenso BSX

Not looking to stretch so looks like I might have to get something close to your set up.

I can definitely see that to be a fact. After going through 40 pages in this thread, think I have a couple viable options and wheel selection is huge for me. The fenders are perfect on the 76 I bought so it's hard for me to cut them for the sake of putting wide wheels in there. 

 

A buddy of mine does a lot of work with Rotiform so if I go with their multi-piece wheel... any offset is available. However Volk makes a TE37V which come in 15x7 +18... decisions decision.

Nice. ATS Classics are one of my favorite wheels on an 02.
