MJRM2384 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I bought some SSW 20in wheels for my 98 C70. I also ordered Koni yellows and TME springsNot sure about the tire size cause the wheels are currently gettin painted. The dude at the body shop was trying to tell me that Id have to RAISE the car so they dont rub which didnt make that much sense to me. I figured the rims would raise the car up and I would have to bring it back down-thats why i ordered the TME springs. Any help with how to run the Konis and suggestions in general would be huge. thanksBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHEIII874T5M Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 What year C70 do you have and what width are the front rims? The rears will not be a problem, but anything bigger than a 235 up front and you may have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cRRRRazy Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 the stock rims are 225/45/17on a 7.5 i thinkas long as the wheels have the same overall dimensions you should be fine if anything you could always get some spacersthe problem is minimal if anyeditactually 245 might rub a hair up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
