lowering an EG with 17x7.5 rims

[mj3610]

hey i wanna drop my car this week but i dunno if i can because of the bigass rims, size is 205/40/17 and width is 7.5. has anyone had this setup lowered with a EG or similar? im gonna be using kingsprings, how low u guys think i can go? i don want too much hassel and dump it on its ass but just a normal drop.
thx guys

comeon people stop lounging, everyone here with lowered EGs tell us ur wheel size, width and how much u've lowered it, what problems ur having along with possible solutions.

i had the same size rims and used super lows
its scrubbed a bit in the back
scrubbed heaps if u have ppl in the back
you mite wanna lip ya guards aswell, helps a bit

i have had 205x50x15's on my EG - this size is almost the exact same dimensions as your "205/40/17"s.
My car was lowered about 2 inches and only rubbed during cornering and hard bumps etc.

What offset are you running ? +38-45 seems to be a safe distance

i have no idea about the offset. can it be changed?
micl thx for the info dude i think i might be alright cause u had superlows right? im onli gonna lower it 2" or so cause i dont want too much hassle. but whats this i been hearing about rolling front guards as well? i didnt know it cna be done, my fornt guards dont have lips like the back.

same deal as benn - i am running same profile and yes it scrubs on semi-full lock cornering.

my car would be considered super super low... ie wheel sits on the guard - you should be ok.
