hi guys, im currently building a 98 type r from the ground up. at the mo i have the larger hubs with brembos front and rear. i have fitted a set of modified prodrive tarmac coilovers/shocks. what i want to know is what does the offset need to be on the wheels to clear the platforms on the shocks as i cant lower the car without the platforms rubbing on the tyres. the wheels will also need to work with the brembos! cheers guys!

Have you looked into shorter springs? you can use helper springs so they dont rattle about.

hi 172, i've not looked at shorter springs no, i have the helpers fitted already. i know you can get different springs for these shocks harder or softer one's but im not sure if they do any that are shorter? i tought it would just be a matter of lowering the platforms to get the car down!

Its never that easy, Dependant on size Tweeks sell springs of differing lengths.

I had similar issues on my tarmac spec rally 205
