From aus, need help with fitment on GD3 15x8 +25
Hi ..
Recently i put 15 x 8 + 25 offset wheels on my GD3..
I also purchased Buddy club N+ coil overs to suit it...
Front i have no rubbing whats so ever with 195/50/r15 Nitto 555 tires..
Rear i had major problems, i rolled it and trimmed the bumper
With me driving now, its works fine but when weight goes onto it..
Rears drop ALOT and fenders touch fender...
Do i go more stretch or is something wrong with the rears coils..
Coils are on highest 1.5 finger gap with stiffest damper setting..
15x8+25
195/50r15
Stiffest, 1.5 finger gap all around

Are you positive they're set to all stiff and not all the way soft? If you've ridden around with the damper to stiff you may have blown a strut. Check for physical signs of leaking. I have mine set to 5 clicks from the softest. Also 8" +25 ? Pull fenders? Add neg camber? Rims are more likely your issue than coils

i have the same set up. buddyclub n+. 15x8 +25 but on 195/45
buddyclub springs are REAAAAAALLY soft. theres nothing you can do about it, other than look for stiffer rear springs else where like swift. I have mine all the way down, and i cant take more than 1 passenger or else it rubs like my tires are gonna pop

They are on stiffest firm.....It made a difference but the springs are too soft....which i had a look the other day at it while reinstalling them...
i have 175/60r15 tires at home but wouldn't that lose alot of traction and be really dangerous in wet ? my misses is driving this..so i don't want her in an accident..
Could you link me a pic "? what tires did you run and does that include 4 people in the car?
Thanks for feedback...more please

yea that's with 5 people in the car 3 on the rear and 2 front,,I was running 195/55/15 rear 205/50/15 front,,I'm not sure what there called but I bought some small rubber spacers that go between the spring so it won't go down as much it really helps too since my rear springs are really soft...ill send u pics

oh wow, that's an achievement!
Rubber spaces...i'm really interested! cheers
i was thinking of trying to pull fender out a bit more...don't want to damage the paint though.

my paint didn't really chip u just have to really heat up the fenders before u pull them if u have a fender roller it will come out a lot better if not u can just use a hammer like I did,,,yea they sell those rubber spacers at autozone they also have metal ones that u clamp on..ill pm u the pics tomorrow too dark right now
