my tires are slightly bigger and rub at full lock. but i want to drop my box 2''. will this work? if not, how low/what springs

 

they are WAY bigger. you will rub all over the place on a 2 inch drop. what width wheels ? what offset?

 

If you are rubbing now, you WILL rub even with a 1" TRD or Tein H Tech springs.

 

I've never looked into it, but what about stoping into a machine shop and get a quote on getting them to make you some spacers. Nothing fancy like oh the OTG shims, just something to go between the rim and rotor.

I wouldn't know if that would even be safe, but i've seen things of the sort being sold. Couldn't hurt to check out.

 

It WILL rub, take it from me...

I have 225/40/18 and they rubbed with stock springs. I dropped it 1.6" on Hotchkis springs and the rubbing got MUCH worse. If you plan to drop it (especially 2 inches) you should get slimmer tires.

-THE DON

 

if i cut the plastic out from behind the front wheels they wont rub? dont know the off set but theres a but theres a #42 on the inside of the rim in the center is that it? sorry, i dont know much about wheel/suspention mods

 

OK since i was going to ask the same question, ill join the thread..

I also have 225\40\18 on a 18x7.5, +45offset, i was looking at the Eibach Pro-Kit, right now the only rubbing i get is when i turn, you guys are saying that is going to be a lot worse?? im confused.

 

rubbing will be alot worse on a 225 tire.


just so everyone knows 215/35/18 is exact same size as stock ( virtually) 215/40/18 will be larger and rub more but is significantly smaller than 225/40


just buy the correct tires guys.
