suspension?
Tartantulas have an offset of 38mm.
All reputable wheels have the offset stamped on them,
usually near the lug holes. looks like this: "ET38"

<P>Hey Im at school now but when I get home tonight
Ill measure my wheels, the ones that are on there
stick pretty far out so im sure the offset is NOT
stock. The wheels i just got will sit in about a
quarter of an inch more. I measured the offset
already, but I dont remember what it is. I
already rolled the wheel wellls some, and I took out
the front inner fender panels. Ill take a look at the
shocks and springs and get back to you soon, Thanks
for your help</P>

<DIV></DIV>>you mention the rims and need to check
offset, but you failed to mention
<DIV></DIV>>what rims you had (with offset) and
what rims you whent too (with new
<DIV></DIV>>offset) that stopped rubbing. I Had
stock 13" tarantulas with offset I

<DIV></DIV>>Hi guys,
<DIV></DIV>> I used to have big time rubbing
problems with my old rims (Borbet M's).
<DIV></DIV>>I found out the offset was wrong. I've
since replaced them with Enkei's
<DIV></DIV>>with the proper offset and I have no
problems. Offset on these cars is
<DIV></DIV>>crucial. Here's my setup that
absolutely doesn't rub:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>H+R Sport Springs
<DIV></DIV>>Boge Turbogas Struts
<DIV></DIV>>Enkei RS5 16" Rims
<DIV></DIV>>BFG 205-40-16 Euro TA's
<DIV></DIV>>Neuspeed Front Tie Bar
<DIV></DIV>>Eurosport Rear Tie Bar
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I get a pretty good ride (feels more
like a mid-size in the way it takes
<DIV></DIV>>tar-strips) and I can carry three
people easy. This is on a 16V too by the
<DIV></DIV>>way. Sits nice and low and is very good
at AutoX. Easy on the pocket book
<DIV></DIV>>too. Anyways, hope the offset idea
helps....
