I had a set back then that I put on but it was rubbing on my fortune futo coil overs lowered at 1.25" and I'm thinking about getting another set back. The front was fine but the back had the rubbing, would raising my car fix that problem? I don't want to install any spacers that I don't think I need.

Why dont you just pick up some 17x8 wheels in around a +45 offset it will allow for better inboard clearance

yeah it was rubbing on the rear coilovers where you adjust it, and the tires were the oem I think which was 235/45/17. Was just wondering how other bugeyes got them to fit and see what setup they had to have them fit without problem. I would pick up some 17x8 wheels with +45 offset but I love the look of the OEM 2012 wheels lol
I don't really know why it would rub but do you have camber plates? if you do you will need camber bolts too. adjust the bolts to max positive and then use the plates to bring it back to negative w.e

Either you have some weird camber toe settings or too low.
Im on a +45 18x8.5 with 245/40s still clears my coils even though the old school teins were a bit larger diameter.
