bad idea. with the spring being too long or too far back, your rear spring hanger can't allow for the spring elongation as it compresses. It's going to have some very hasty ride and handling characteristics and shag bushes quickly, maybe even rip rusted stuff mounts off the chassis...

well if the spring is the right length, the only way for both the back of the spring to be that far back and the wheel to be that far back, is for the front spring hanger to be all #OOPS#ed up.

your spring certainly appears to be longer than stock.

Are you measuring 1165mm along this red line?

it's not possible that your spring measurements are the same, or the wheel would be smack bang in the middle of the wheelarch like mine is. It's got nothing to do with the size of the tyre. 155/80 is pretty much the same diameter as the 205/60 on mine, but in your pics they look smaller - like the stock 12" tyres.
