Just an update on this... I got a wheel alignment today and I only have 5mm clearance but its the bottom of the spring box that the tyre is hitting. As in its the TREAD thats rubbing, not the sidewall.

Pedders said I have 2 options, they can modify the struts for me and make them larger but use a smaller spring so i dont lose any ride height... $500

Or custom made coil overs as you cannot get VN ones off the shelf. $1300.

well, list price for the strut tops are $691, so if you could con them to do a set without them, youd prolly only pay 1000

Dude lend those wheels to me for a few minutes and I'll knock a few mm off the top of the tread for you, then they will fit perfect :)

Speak to Tony (Mr Spares) can knock me up a set of coil overs with Koni reds (bump/rebound adjustable) for $950.
