I am scheduling to install my Tanabe DF210 drop springs although my mechanic is asking me if I need to roll fenders. ATM my ride is sitting on 19" TRD rims. I figure they don't need to be rolled because they are dealer issued optional wheels, although once the car is dropped will I rub on turns in the front?.

Tanabe Lowers Front/Rear: -2.2/-2.0 inch
TRD 19" wheel spec: 19x8 +48 offset


Anyone with this setup? or can calculate specs for me? my math sux big...

(EDIT: I will post more pictures in a few minutes)

Without Drop-----------------

 

You'll be fine. This issue has been touched upon more than a handful of times.

 

So no need to roll? I am just concerned because of my kids always riding with me, last thing I need is a blowout because of a tire rub. Although if there is total clearance I would rather not roll due to the paint could crack or chip and cars got like 300 miles on it.

I appreciate any input you give me I am just a worry wort.. comes with having kids LOL

 

Sell kids, buy second car.

I ran my TRDs with my Hotchkis springs. From my measurements, I was lower than DF210s. Add the fact that I have a 55lb subwoofer plus enclosure that weighs roughly 80lbs, plus added battery... all my audio equipment may weigh about as much as your kids. I NEVER had a rubbing problem at all. Only time I got any rubbing was when I put on my coilovers.

 

I think you'll be ok. I'm on Ksports now, and can ride with my dad (he is a HUGE guy, probably 280 or more, +6ft), mom, wife and another person, and juuust barely rub on huge bumps in the rear.

On my hotchkis springs, with 16" wheels (which put me much lower to the ground than you will be), I rarely scraped/rubbed tire. And when I say rarely...I can remember two times it happened.
