So if we have a coupe and 18 inch rims how low can we go?

Civic Pride · 11-29-2006, 10:48 PM

I did a search but no luck finding what am looking for, i hear that we can only lower the car like 1 inch if we go any lower it will rub,(on 18 Inch rims) i was thinking of buying some tein springs but they lower the car someting like 1.4 inches so am afraid it will rub!

Thanks for your help in advance..

It's all relative to the tire you're using and the wheel offset. You should be ok with a Tein Stech or Eibach Sportline drop and 225/40/18 tires. An 18x7.5 +45 should be perfect...

1. Rim Size & Offset
2. Tire Size
3. Negative Camber
4. Fender Cover Del
5. Fender Rolling
6. Fender Pulling
