Will this rub

Kit2k · 06-27-2009, 01:13 AM

Hi everyone. I 'm new here. This is my first time posting.

I have a 01 on OZ allegaritta 17x7.5 +48, 215/45 in the front. 17x8.5 +59, 245/40 in the rear. I'm looking to lower the car with eibach pro kit. I'm very sure the back is clear. I'm not very sure about the front.
Wondering if anyone have a similar set up? will it rub? looking for some opinion please. thank you.

I think you should be ok I run 18X8 with a 225 with a +50 in the front and have no issues

Kit2k · 06-27-2009, 04:38 PM

s2k01 · 06-27-2009, 09:48 PM

RL1924 · 06-28-2009, 01:53 AM

The rear should be clear but i think your gonna have some issues with the front fenders but then again you could always roll your fenders... I have 18" OZ ultraleggras on mine but havent lowered it yet bc of that issue plus i kinda like the way it handles already.

I do like how it handle too, but a little much body roll for me so need a bit stiffer spring. I don't track my car, just drive aggressive on the twisties road. That's y I get the S. Thanks for the reply guys I will drop it soon. will post it as soon as I get a new camera. I have phone cam but lost USB, and my camera broke. SUCK

Cant wait to see it!!! if it looks good maybe ill end up doing it too!

It will fit! Go for it. I just dropped mine a few weeks ago. 18" wheels and 245's on the rear and 225's on the front. I can't even get a finger between the top of my tires and the wheelwell and no rubbing.

^ what series tire are you running? 45? 40? 35?

Fast Freddy · 07-04-2009, 09:53 PM

225/40's front and 245/35's rear. The wheels are 18 x 7.5 front and 18 x 8.5 rear. Lowered on Ground Control coilovers with Eibach springs and Koni Yellows. I went with a stiff spring rate to minimize the need to roll the fenders,etc. Spring rates are 440 front and 380 rear. Much stiffer than stock. Here's the good news... the ride is still just fine! It feels great! So go with stiffer springs in my opinion. Hope this helps.

You will be fine, I was running 225 x 45 x 17 in the front and 255 x 40 x 17 in the rear, lowered and I never rubbed.
