Default Just making sure....

Alright Gents,

Here is my setup. 04 GT Lowered with Eibach pro springs, and I just bought some 18x9 and 18x10.5 Saleen wheels. The tires are 265/35 front and 285/35 rear tires. NOW, I have done all this work/ordering while I've been deployed. It just occured to me that with the 1.5 inch drop will there be enough clearence for the tires? Forgive me as ive been gone from from my baby for almost a year. Almost time go get home and I just want to make sure everything is good when I get there. Thanks in advance.

No probs on fitment, width or wheel size. I recommend you do some checking around the wheel wells once installed to confirm you don't have contact with fenders and such, but this is just good practice when installing wider wheels/tires. You may want to bend some small parts of the inner fender lip upward under fender so your tires don't rub. It is possible you may have very slight contact on fender liner of rear when over a large bump, but won't hurt anything as it is just plastic.

Jazzer thanks you for your service
