40 offset tork imagine w/ a 225/40/18 tire

 

yes sir you are def. going to rub on every dip and bump

 

doh....is there any way to prevent this? I' m dead set on these wheels...

 

other than changing the springs.....i love the s-tech drop....

 

Am I screwed come winter time? I have the s-tech drop, but I'm gettin worried that it'll be bad in the winter (BUFFALO winter, mind you).

My questions is.. do you think it will really effect it? Should I be worried about my clearance??

 

yes...yes...and yes......s tech drop is too low to be driving in the snow......

 

Are you serious? .. What would you recommend I do?

Obviously I should've researched this first, but what's done is done. Any suggestions are appreciated

 

I went with the Tein H-Techs.....it's a low enough drop to get rid of the wheel gap....but not too low to where you can't get through the snow.....I threw some blizzak tires on my car last year and had no problem getting through the snow....and I have the H-Techs.

 

kev: Are there different settings I can use with the s-techs? Do you think winter tires might help a bit?

Does anyone else have experience with driving in snow with s-techs??

 

pics look great with the drop. im going to go with the s-techs as well.

 

I'm in college in michigan and im not sure what the snow storms are like up here... but im in the same route as you marymarkcirca.... i'm low on cash so i can't afford new tires... im just gonna see how it goes.... worst comes to worst i will get a job out here, and until i get the money for tires i will take the bus everywhere...

 

Talked to a couple guys at my dealership.. they think I should get diff springs. I love when they tell me this after I paid $350 for install..

Not sure what I'm gonna do yet, but my exhaust is gettin put in right now, I'll probly wait a couple wks to make my decision to just get a beater for the winter or take the springs out and call it a loss
