Default How low can I go with 215/35/18's?

Thinking of getting the Tanabe NF210's... 1.5-ish drop on front and rear. Will I have problems? Anyone running same set-up? Got pics? New rims and tires are sweet, but I've got the same wheel gap as stock wheels. Any advice on best springs or pics of what your 215/35/18's are looking like would be helpful. Found a place to get the NF210's for $185 shipped! Hoping for pics of those for sure! Thanks again everyone.

I have the Eibach Prokit. 2" on the front and 2" on the rear. Running TRD 19" (215/35/19 tires)... no problem.
You need to be careful on the wheels offsets. If it sticks out too far it WILL rub hard on bumps. This will ruin both your tires and your car.
The most tire size I recommend is 225 width...anything more you will need spacers to keep tires from rubbing the rear beam. The front is a little more forgiving...
I have the Eibach springs and Monroe Sensatracks shocks setup both the front and rear. Not exactly ridding like Fleetwood but that alone already improves 110% over the stock suspension...mind you I'm running 35 tire height.
Good luck

Ordered the Tanabe NF210's yesterday, $185 shipped. Supposedley 1.5" drop front and rear. You guys got pix of your drops? I have no rub issues with the 215/35/18's, so a minimal drop like that shouldn't produce issues, right?



Same wheel gap as stock still, so I think anything will help.



I'll show you how it turns out. POST THOSE PIX!!

Turned out sweet. Highly recommend Tanabe NF210's. Smoother than stock and no more wheel gap. What do you think?
