Bearing housing is extremely fat on these Function Form 2 coilovers. Unlike Cusco, PBM or the like, the tophat doesn't provide much in terms of camber or much at all. But for what you pay for these Taiwan coilovers, they are pretty great, quality-wise. Just not very adjustable (can't lower more than 4.24" or more than 2.5 degrees camber).

I'm thinking I will go with either a 15x8 +13 or 0 offset all around or a 9. A 9 might be sticking out too much on the fronts maybe? Rosebud car has fender flares and trying to fit wider wheels without going that route if I can. I daily this thing going to college and what not so it needs to be able to hop those speedbumps and not die on the freeway jumps as much as I'd like to slam it on the frame.

Going to use a 55 or 60 sidewall on the 15" wheels so to keep the gap small haha

Wooow those coils fucking blow, sorry man.

As for the wheels, do a 15x9 +-0 all around, and try a 195/60 all around. I think you'll still have two much gap with a 55 series tire.

OR better yet, consider a 15x9.5. That way, you can run a 205/60 for even more ground clearance and get away with it.

Fatlace makes some, or some cheepie NS mesh with spacers. No offense but I take it this is on a budget. Anything is better then steel trailer wheels IMO

Hopefully 15x9 0 offset would look juuuust right. Yes those coils aren't very good for adjustability but they are pretty durable and ride nice enough. Maybe I'll get extended and boxed FLCA some time or one of those GKTech correction spacers.

60 sidewall sounds correct and should fill up the wheel well quite nicely. You'll see and I'll post soon when I get this fitment thing all figured out. Thanks for the help guys

Running 215/60/15 NS Mesh with 25 spacer, effective offset 0. Still need to dial it in, since the trans is fucked, im busy and it cold.

A top down view. I don't need speed hunters shot of your strut tower.

50 series or die unless you plan on keeping at that current ride height.

SpeedHunters shot lol. Yeah I figured 50 sidewall for a 15" isn't too bad and 55/60 might just be too tall.

I was thinking a 15"x8 0 offset. Maybe push something stupid like a 15"x10 with +20 offset with a crazy stretch from a 205/50/15. Have the wheel poking out while keeping the tire tucked under the fender.

This is last year when i'd scrape my exhaust and feel bad about it lol

So many speedbumps here, potholes, steep grades and driveways, uneven roads. Would totally wreck this as a daily. I don't know how some people do it here in LA. But it looks amazing. Your car is what I want mine to look some day.
