I recently installed these wheels along with the stud kit to use the wheels. Drove it around to settle the suspension back down. I've read in older forum posts regarding clearance between driver and passenger side rear and vice versa. My passenger side rear had more clearance between the fender and tire, the driver side rear maybe has 1.5-2.0mm of clearance. I know I need to do an alignment on the car, but I think my factory coil springs have given up the ghost. So I ordered a set from 914Rubber. Do you think the springs may fix my issue or alignment? Tires on the Minilites are 205/55R15 currently.

The offset is part of the problem. Can not remember off the top of my head but thinking factory is 40mm your wheels are 33mm.

Looked up the specs on the PET. You're correct factory wheels are ET40.
