Hi,
Last weekend i fitted my new wheels and a HKS hipermax2 coiloverset on my FD.
Fitted the Advan RS 18x9jx35 all around. Tires are 18"-255-35.
Bought the set from a friend off mine who had them on his evo9.



Now i have a few problems.
On the rear no problems. No rubbing at all and the tire slides a few mm behind the fender.
The problems are in the front. The tires are to wide. And costandly rubbing the wheelliner. If i drive over a little rock then it hits the inner fender. Now i removed the bolt that holds the inner fender for more clearance. That helps a little. But the front tires has to be smaller.

Now what size do i need? go to a 245 or maybe 235?
and if i take a 235 will i need a 18-235-35 or 18-235-40 tire?  Because its gonna stretch a little offcourse. so the height of the tire will be less. But i dont want to much different with the rear tire. But maybe a 235-40 will rub also.
Whats your idea guys?

Second queston is about the hks hipermax2 coilover set. Its not stiff anough. I dont now if you guys have experiences with them but when i get in the car, the car lowers about 1.5 cm.......and thats to much.
I had diabled the coilovers and made some new rings. On the top off the springs there was a number. On the front a 7 and on the rear a 6.
I turned the rebound on full lock but then the car rises very slow upwards...

We got allot of speedbumps down here so it has to be a stiff suspension if i want to go low with the car.

Can you help me?
Thanks.
