lowered with eibach pro-kit wheel pics once I switch to 255/40/19 it should be perfectly flush

 

i really dont think it would sit fluch at all with a drop, need to roll the fenders.

 

Sorry for the late reply, subscription still isn't working right.

Thanks for the compliment. The rears fit flush with no problems, though the front studs have a little extra meat on them. There's about 4-6mm of non-threaded metal at the ends, and on the front there's about 2-3mm too much. I shaved the studs down 2-3mm to get them to clear with a pneumatic grinder. Nothing on the threaded portion of the stud are being removed so no risk there.

Regards,

 

Thanks for the information. Looks like a 30 mm spacer would clear the studs with no cutting required?

Thanks,

Don

 

fwiw, you lower your car with the eibach pro-kit and hit a bad enough bump or dip, your fenders will scrub the tires. lowering your car is not going to do anything about how far they stick out.

trust me, I am having to run a narrow tire (275/35/20) on my 20x10 Alcoas because of the retarded offest (37mm) they have so I don't rub....and I am lowered on the pro-kit.

 

30mm would clear the front lugs for sure, though the wheel would be a little further out. I don't think you'll have any problems with the OEM tire size, but if you went wider and have a lowered suspension there's a possibility of rubbing issues.
