digging in the past again - I have this kit and when I had it fitted to my car (stock LHD Levin) I had to fit spacers (30mm was enough) to my 14x6 ET20 wheels to stop them touching the chassis rail.
@Okami, no they are not plug and play. I wasn't able to adjust the steering arms (short enough) to get the alignment right, so as Zdoman said you need to cut and rethread a little.

anyway now to my questions... I'm currently looking at getting some longer LCAs and along with that want to get it right for wider wheels too.
So any of you running this kit with 8" wide wheels if yes what did you do to avoid rubbing on the chassis rail?

So far all I know is that my 30mm spacer worked, along with the 14x6 ET20 wheels. Unfortunately I didn't take any additional measurements.
So to achiev a similar clearance with a 15x8 ET0 wheel I'd need some 35mm longer LCAs which would but the wheels some 50mm further out compared to the 14x6 ET-10 setup (includes the 30mm spacer).

choices on LCAs down here are very limited so I'll try to source some MX32 ones and see if I can make them work (they have different balljoint) or I will extend some TE70 (same as AE86).

Thanks for reading and let's here some more facts Smile
