Fitting Issue 9x16's

[ianeire]

Went about fitting four Schmidt 9x16's to the sport tonight, just as a loan for a week.

All four were et45. Had no problem with the rears but the inner lips on the front wheels on both sides were fouling on the h&r shocks. More so on the drivers side than the passenger side. Ive got the 60/40 kit fitted.

Can anyoned tell me why this is so? I would have thought et45 all around was ok, do I need a different offset for the front?

The wheels came off a Corrado. The lips on the wheels I must say are HUGE. Big thick yokes, far bigger than the lips on the Borbet A's I had on the last sport.
