tyre clearance with bilsteins
#1
anyone had differing clearances on front tyres with bilstein shocks?

I got b4s. And went to put winter wheels on today which have 185/65/15s on.
they are fat but brilliant snow/winter tyres and Ive never had clearance issues on the old green turd.

Now today they are fouling the edge of the spring seat!!??

Im bit bummed as if Id known I would have got cheap winter tyres in summer in readiness.
doh Doh

only idea I had was to raise the strut position in the hub by 5mm...anyone done that?!
