RideTech front suspension and 15" wheels

[JLMounce]

I've been looking for any kind of answer on this and can't seem to find anything. My gut feeling here is no considering the change in spindle height, but I'd figure I'd ask.

Will the complete RideTech front (Strong Arms, Coilovers, Tru Turn) fit within a 15" wheel?

I've been budgeting for wheels at around the same cost as a complete front suspension here. I'd be willing to hold off on wheels for the suspension at first. I'd rather just do that all at one time while the car is down, then upgrade the wheels a bit later.

Just wanting to know if this is possible or if I'm going to have to do wheels first and suspension second.

Thanks!

I had everything installed except the tru turn with my stock 15 inch wheels and it cleared. The tru turn makes the wheel clearance better so I dont see why it wouldnt work.

This is good to hear. I'd be running a pair of Bassat NASCAR steelies in the DOT version. They're cheap and can be made to compensate for my hub to hub increase on the front end.

Hey guys,

the main deciding factor on that setup working is the backspacing of the wheel. The clearance problem that you will run into is the tie rod hitting the wheel. The TruTurn allows the tie rod to sit inside of the wheel, depending on the wheel, it may or may not hit.
