Weeee xmas wheels! Got me some BBS RS-GT knockoffs!

ASA AR1 18x8 ET35, Goodyear Eagle GT, lowered on Tanabe DF210 with Tokico HP

rubs in the front though.....

 

wow thats a low (and nice) drop. i didnt know DF210s were so low.

 

X2 on the drop.

hate the rims though.

 

sorry man can't be a balla like you with real BBS wheels...lol NY streets too rough..if ones gets screwed, its only 150 bucks to replace....

 

Goddamn, youre a brave soul for dropping it that low on our NYC streets bro, now sell me your stockies lol.

 

you should of got gold or bronze.

 

yeah they dont make gold or bronze...was thinking of powdercoating them bronze...that would be awesome...

Ive had this drop for about a year almost, but thats why i have no lip kit...i wouldnt be able to drive anywhere...not a probs on brooklyn/queens streets....in the city thats another thing.......

 

what size tires you running??

 

225/40/18

 

the rubbing is killing me...what did you guys do to reduce the rubbing???? its rubbing the liner....anyway to bend it etc? Will coilovers help?..heheh

 

coil overs will help, so will removing the fender liner, or dremeling out the low spots on it.

 

hmm..this is the same wheel size I plan on running next summer when I (finally..hopefully..) get my wheels..sorry to thread jack but would a TRD drop still rub with this setup? I thought about switching the hotchkis but now i'm thinking I should just stick with what I have

 

youll be fine with the trd drop.

 

looks good, hope they last on the NYC streets.

 

when does it rub, i thought that you should be fine with the setup you gt when it comes to rubbin

 

rubs on dips potholes and bumps..which is basically ny streets ...looks like its time to go back to coilovers....

 

so its not bad when you turn, thats what i thought you were talking about, bumps i can handle, but i know the wheels i have in mind are going to rub, 18x9 all the way around with a 35 offset, they will work but rub up front, oh well

 

oh yeah that will def rub if you lowered....i think Leo had falken 512's and cause of the side wall...he doesnt rub...but hes on 18x7.5....I rub in the back when i have additional pasengers in the rear...

 

hey davedavetc,

how do you like the HKS Hipermax? Im really tempted....you think itll help my rubbing prob? it seems my car dips to much when i roll over bumps and dips.....I have tokicos, but i think the tanabe spring rates are too low?

 

well i got good rubber on the stockies for track days, so i was planning on running falkens 912's, i had them before and really liked them

are your rear fenders rolled any??? from what i read i should be fine with just a little rubbing up front as long as i roll the fenders,
