18x9.5/10.5 ET22 on KW HAS

Will this fit without spacers? My fronts are at max low and my rears are about 7mm up from max low.

Worried they will contact the spring or adjustment collar. If they do clear what tires sizes are you running?

265/35 and 295/30 would be ideal.

I'm on factory ZCP's with 15/12 spacers now.

I'm running 9.5"/10.5" with michelin ps4s in 265/285. I was running even a 5mm spacer rear with only slight rubbing on the plastic liner (back), now I run no spacer. Up front, I run 5mm just for a little extra "poke" I do run some neg camber though, about -2.5. No rubbing at all up front. Prob could run a 10mm spacer with -3 camber.

I'm on Ohlins, and am pretty low. About 1 finger gap up front (prob more like 1.5) and rear is tucked slightly.

Thanks for sharing. What’s the tire profile up front? 30 or 35? Considering a 265/30/19 and 295/30/19 with the PS4S. I heard 265/35 could rub pretty bad up front.

Thanks for the info. Really looking for some feedback from
Some with KW HAS because the spring and adjustment collar clearance.

Your best bet might be to track down Slicer and ask him. He probably has more experience with fitment tuning than anyone. Many years ago he was very involved in solving clearance issues with the KW clubsport spring perches. I would bet he’s seen quite a few HAS setups.

I'm on 18s, so 35 profile. 265/285 ps4s. The 285 is a little stretched which I don't like (visually), but the next jump up to 295 requires going down to 30 profile which I will not do.
