Default how much?

just curious since i don't understand suspension really....i've tried searching, but don't really know what i'm looking at or how to figure out....so i'll ask...


i want to get a set of rims that are 19x8, +35...

how do i figure out how much of a drop i can get so i can still not worry about rubbing or anything...

i could also get the 18x8, +35, but i'd really like to get the 19's...

i was looking to do htechs with tokico blues...but i'm worried about the fronts being too low...

please help...

i've read those...i understand that the 19's will fit...but that is without lowering my car....i want to lower it....the chart from the first link, i'm assuming is on stock suspension...please correct me if i'm wrong...

but i need to know how low i can go with 19x8, +35

not very. You will most likely need coilovers/some neg camber/ fender rolling for them to fit with no issues with anything more than I'd say an inch or so.

so on htechs, i'm assuming that nothing would be needed for the 18's?
