I'm especially looking for pics of Eibach Sportlines, but i'll happily take any pics that include the Nitto555 295/45/18's & 255/45/18's tire combo. Thanks! [8D]

I am running 305/45/18's rear 255/45/18's up front on a saleen suspension 2" drop rear 1.5" drop front. If interested I can send up close pics in 5 days when I get back home to her. BTW I have no rubbing, and it is a very tight looking fit with minimal clearance between wheel well and tire itself. It looks sick, and I get compliments about it all the time.

I wouldn't do it, looking at your pictures, it looks like a 2" drop the car would be sitting on the wheels. I can't believe that's the stock suspension.

I am lowered 2" and have a custom fiberglass setup 2 10's 3 amps 2 batteries 4 Caps and I still have about .5" from wheel well to tire. I have a sport tuned suspensionso I agree that a drag suspension will not work with thissetup, however a street or race suspension will definately work.

I know but look at his pictures,

His car looks lower then most. It doesn't look like he has 2" from the top of the tire to the fender.

+1 on the size. I cant tell from the photo if he has any room or not. The angles and the lighting make it hard to judge.

There is more room there than it looks, my pics just don't reveal the gap as well as most pictures, maybe because I don't usually use flash, I dunno.

I haven't ever measured, so I really don't know exactly how much room is there. Thats the main reason I started this thread, to see if anybody was successfully running the sportlines with my tire combo. I know I can go lower using springs such as the Steeda Sports, but I want to know how low I can go. How cliche lol

The chin spoiler will have to go when you install the sportlines.
