Help please... i just installed Eibach springs on my 84 GSL-SE & i had to put on the original set of rims (205/60 14) with 1/8" spacers up front to keep the tires from rubbing against the springs. i'm looking for some advice about aftermarket rims (15 or 16) since i will probably need to replace the set of Borbet type E w/ Dunlop w-10 205/50 16

that wont fit in the wheel well anymore. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif thanks for any input

I've never heard any issues with the eibach's and stock tires. Gonna have to go low profile and a bit narrower.

i had the same problemwhen i istalled my 18x7.5 in my 1st gen, so i installed eibach coilover kits in the fronts to fix it./ now it rides nice

thanks for info & links i should have known what size rims i had before. will probably get a set of 15x6 or 6.5 w/ low profile tires. as soon as i get pics of borbets they are going up for sale

Your car looks nice - but why do you have a Supra spoiler on the back hatch?

Oh - and Where did you get the coilovers for $200?

Actually no, it's for 1st gen mazdas they use to sell it back in the days at the dealerships in PR and my brother came across one and bough it for me years ago.

I do like it because it's unique.
