After lowering with Sportsline~ and aftermarket Wheel fitment~

edrhee83 · 09-04-2006, 09:02 PM

Well, i dropped my car over the weekend with Eibach Sportsline. It drops 1.5 Front and Back. It looks very nice and drives nice too. Just the way I like it.
I looked at the gap and there maybe an inch or little more left. I want the 18in rims but I am afraid that it might rub.
Did anyone have 18in wheels with Sportsline drop?? If so, what kinda setup did you do?The one i want is 18x7.5 with 38 offset with 225/40/18
tires. Would it rub??

u will rub.
the 38 offset is too little....u need more offset like 42+ to clear the fenders safely...even then u may still rub but atleast it would be on the inside of the fender on the shitty plastic...u'll have to run some negative camber upfront...more than the required spec of -0.3...how much more i don't know.

camber won't kill ur tires so don't worry about it...

i know cuz i had same size tires, 18" rims with 38 offset...got rid of them and got 18" rim with 42mm offset....and that's what i had to do.

i'm lowered on tein SS but about a sportline drop.
