Guys, i have a problem with bumping the front tyres to the edge of fender.I changed the front springs for stiffer ones but its almost the same. The wheel gap between tyre and edge of the fender,is around 5cm (i am not sure)...

any ideas?

Do you have experience with Team dynamics wheels especially Pro Race 1.2 ? I want to buy on the front a 17x7 or 7,5 and ET 40-ET45...Any ideas, if this wheels i should fit without problems? Because my current wheels are not bad, but the have too low ET...

tyres are 225/45

Also changed the shock with a shorter stroke? Same springs sometimes do not work without shorter stroke shoks. Springs are only stiffer or also lower?

I had the same problem before installed shock with a shorter stroke (front axle). Also You can change ET of wheels. In my Coupe are 215/45/15 7,5 inch with ET35 and have some space. So if You buy 7-7,5 inch wheels with ET40-45 all should be good.

Yes, if in my car are 215/45 with 7,5 inch with ET35 then with ET40-45 can use 225/45 and wheel should hide inside without rubbing against the fender.
