    Yeah, I think so. But if he's rubbing when fully compressed, starting down low won't be too much better. And TEIN coilovers aren't too famous for stiffness. RPF1s come in +41 in 15x7.

    Seems like the mirage will have a very hard time accelerating and turning with that set up

    So Im trying to wrap my head around this. If I had 14x6 +35 would they fit or is the offset too far out.

    That should be acceptible but you have to try it out to find out. If your buying used ask the seller if you can try it to see if there is clearance issues. Also i know rim shops sometimes they have a set just to use for measuring purposes. I have my eyes set on the 41 15x7 rpf1s. I should have them in a few weeks. Ill try to make a detailed review for our car fitment wise

    with that setup, you might run into some rubbing in the front inner liner with a full turn, especially with a wider tires, i say try to stick with 175 -185 .. i could be wrong but interesting setup
