Hi Guys,

Anyone run the Koni Yellows (sports) with a 15" wheel???
I assume the backspacing of the wheel is important to amke sure it doesnt hit?

Any help/advise appreiated

 

Are you talking factory 15" wheel? If so you have zero problems. If aftermarket wheel they you are correct about backspacing. You will need to make sure the wheel does not sit too far back, otherwise you will have a problem. Although that is nothing a small wheel spacer/adapter couldn't fix.

 

Would be no different than any other shock as far as I know.

I love my Koni Yellows btw.

 

what he said. if your wheels fit now, they will fit with the koni's. they are no larger than any other off the shelf strut.

 

I was goning to but im prob gonna run a 15x8.5 up front now, the offset is slightly different, so think I worked out the back spacing would be about an inch more than it would be on a stock rim... do you reckon this would cause a issue?

I swear I havent heard a single bad thing about Koni struts

Thanks I havent got any of the front end on atm, just figuring out how to get the right bits I want (struts, spindles, hubs, brakes etc) to work all together without clashing... would be so much easier if I had taken bits off the car as I replaced them... well learning this lesson the hard way

 

Do you have any idea what brakes you are going to run? If you are going to run the 4th gen brakes, you should have zero issues with your new rims fitting and not rubbing the strut. Once you get your hub and rotor bolted on it actually pushes the wheel out around .5" or so. The spindle will be the factory one and will not cause any problems.

I am not certain on any of the other brake setups, since I only did the research on the one I was installing.

 

At the moment I have an idea, but no clue how they affect the wheel, i'll have to look into that.. i'll look at the 4th gen brakes now as well.
