Default 19" Wheels - clearance issues with Eibach Springs?

Hey guys,

Just dropped my s197 GT 2 inches with the Eibach Sportline Springs. My stock 17" rims are much more snug and I'm a little concerned about my next inevitable upgrade.

I'm looking at some 19's (staggerred) and wondering if there will be clearance issues? Anybody want to school me in the finer points of 19s with Lowering Springs? Things to watch out for? What offset should I be considering? Thanks y'all!

I don't know for sure but I bet you'll be fine. Stock diameter on my 17 was 28". With 19" wheels and 245/45/19 size tires I'm actually down to an overall diameter of 27.7 inches.

The drop look awesome did you get caster camber plates? or did you just go with the camber bolts? to fix the camber if their was any?

Bolts for now. Car is not a daily driver or ever really driven hard so not worried about durability. Will eventually do plates though.
