Possible rim issue

RedDevilGT · August 21st, 2008, 12:02 AM

Ok, i just lowered my car with the eibach pro-kit springs, which lowered it 1.5" all the way around. My question is, i want to get some FR500's with 18X10 in the rear and 18X9 in the front. Will there be any rubbing issue at all due to it being lowered?

Thank you, any and all help is greatly appreciated

i have the same lowering kit. i also have 18s on mine, i do believe they are 18x9 all the way around. only time i rub is when i have it cranked all the way to the left or right but i've had it like that for long enough now that its a habit to take it all the way then bring it back enough so it doesnt rub which isnt very far, so in short u wont have bad rubbing issues unless u turn really hard

What rubs?

If the fenders rub, just roll the fender lip...

If it's the springs, you could swap up to coil overs...

My rims dont rum at all with the sportline springs and 18x9, 18x10.It matters on the tire setup you go with.
That would cause it to rub.

I have the same exact setup (prokit and fr500's - same size) Just as Johnson stated, not bad unless at full out hard turn, I would suggest CC plates, I have them and camber is still not perfect, without them it would be much worse.
