I am ready to install the SM suspension kit with FCM bump stops on my 2003 NB. However, I am still waiting to order four SM 15x7 inch wheels (Kosei K1 Racing or TD Pro Race 1.2). Can I install the SM suspenion on my NB now with my OEM 16x6.5 inch wheels? My thought was that if I raise the spring perches as high as possible so that ride height is high as possible, there should not be any rubbing issues. This is just temporary until my SM wheels arrive.

thanks

You can install 16 inch wheels and depending on the aspect ratio of the tires the overall diameter won't even change much. On the other hand, if you raise the spring perches to the top you can probably run 22s with some big chrome spinners. Probably won't corner so well though.

I have Yokohama S.Drive that are 205/45R16 (i think). Thanks for letting me know. I didn't want to spend time trying to install suspension if it would not work. I will be ordering my SM 15" wheels in the next week or so.

thanks for helping!
