Anyone managed to fit 15x7.5's on an EP82 before ?

Hey guys. Recently bought some 15x7.5 +30 Simmons F90's for my EP82 and have hit problems. Installed them with KYB Excel G lowered shocks and King Springs, they are scrubbing out like crazy on the rear. They currently have 175/65/15 tyres on them at the moment, and i am hoping with a change to 175/50/15's this will help deal with the fitment issues.

Has anyone fitted this size before? Any advice? Any opinion/pictures on how to go about solving this problem would be much appreciated. Cheers.

if its only running on the driver side, then you need a adjustable panhard rod to put the rear axle back into allignment after lowering.

you'll only need to do this if your tyre solution doesn't work

ive got 16x8 on my gt rubbed at first but after some adjustment to the coilovers now have the perfect balance between it not scrubbing and the ride not being to stiff also have a cusco panrod

Managed to put some 175/50/R15's on it yesterday and touchwood it seems to have done the job. Probably wouldnt hurt to grab a panhard rod though.
