Wheel clearance with adjustables

Hi all

I know some of you's have just got D2 adjustables for your cars. Did any of you's find clearance issues with your wheels?
Ie. if your wheels were close to the factory struts, did you find any issues with the adjustables?

Thanks

theres more clearance because the coil overs use narrow id springs.
so you can run fat rubber.

A couple more good reasons to fit D2s then.

Lower...wider...madness!

You sure?
I thought that the tyre sat underneith the lower spring seat? So by the narrow part under?
With the adjustables they're thicker the whole way down with the spring thread going down.

there is at least another 10mm clearance on the front rims, if you run more negative camber, you get even more clearance on the guard

Id say your right in your thinking there Robin.
Although having 9.5 inch rims on the back of my gold starion with custom ajustables Ive still got a good 5mm clearance. Would depent on how long the springs were...
