Hey guys, did a search through couldn't find anything relating to the issue so I thought I'd ask the question. I've got the new P1 SF onefive8 rims, and I've got an EJ8. I tried to test fit one of the rear wheels earlier today but it's fouling on the camber arm JUST. Now the suspension wasn't under load, so I'm thinking that might be why it's fouling, though if it's fouling there I'm not off to a good start. The rim hasn't got rubber on it yet either. I'm getting 205/50/15s for the rims. My question is, should I get spacers to fix the issue? Was thinking of getting 5mm H&R spacer kits from JDMYard to fix the issue but I don't know if 5mm will be enough. Any advice at all would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Vik.

a spacer will def help, but maybe try to put a bit of load on it with out tyre and see how it turns out. the camber arm might straighten out a bit under load.

I was trying that but I haven't got anything to put load on with :( Might have to go ninja some wooden blocks from the parents' house. Will let you know cheers for the help :D

Yeah I was gonna run 5mm just to be safe, might have to do a quick test fit on the front too to ensure it'll fit

Bit of an update, test fit the fronts and nothing fouls :D and that was both loaded and unloaded so I've ordered spacers from Yonas, hoping they get here before Friday when my wheels are supposed to be going on lol

Yeah I haven't put the rear under load yet, did the fronts yesterday and they're awesome, gonna test fit the rears tomorrow when the spacers get here

should clear easy, iirc it was only +36 or higher on an 8 would foul with a rear UCA

+36 clears it too. Currently running 8inch'd +36 with 225/50 no spacers only neg 2deg camber and 1-2 finger gap height.
