Default How many of you guys are running 18x10s with the H&R ss's?

My car has eibach springs on it but i wanted my car a little lower. I know rob and gt04 are running 18x10s and H&R ss without rubbing but how many other guys on here is running this setup? And did you need to roll your fenders? Or do anything else to make them work?

i didnt have to roll my fenders and havent had any issues with rubbing at all with 315s on a 18x10.5. I gonna throw a set of 335s on and give them a shot but im pretty positive ill have to roll them with those though lol. Ill try to wash my car tomorrow and take a few pics of where im at with the drop, i dropped more than h&r's specs for those springs, like 3/4" more than what they rate them at (i cant even put my f'n cobra chin on because of it). I also don't have my iso's in and didnt have to do anything special to make them work

Please don't put a set of 335's on your car, as you need a properly sized wheel for it to do you any good and would need more than fender rolling to get you there

dwt... expect some rubbing if you do lower than current. Probably not by the feners, but the liner up on the inside.

Not really, I slightly rub but then again I have an IRS. I do run a spacer in the back though to prevent from hitting a certain bolt.
