Hi guys....im getting Tein SS Coilovers and i have 205/40/17 rubber on 17"x7" rims with offset of 42 i think (mayb its 40...can't remember).
The height range is -1.2" to 3.3" at the front and 0.2" and 2.8" at the rear or something like that. So if i set it to -1.2" all round...which is 31mm....will i get scrubbing???
Coz it seems rediculous as i have about a 50mm gap between my tire and my guard at the front and 45mm at the rear (less due to subwoofer in the rear).
1.2" is not way low enough to look good. U will need at least 2" to reduce the gap between ur tires and the guard and even then you shouldnt get and scrubbing. Dont put the teins to waste dude
my 17x7 +35 offset scrubs when i full lock. lowered 2.5" :D
I was told my guards/fenders are too thin to be rolled (although I know some ppl who has rolled their guards)
I ultimately want a 2" drop....but if that means ill get a shit load of rubbin...then ill hav to raise. If i get a lil bit of rubbin then i wont care.
But theres no way im droppin more than 2" since then guards need 2 b rolled and as others said its really hard 2 find places that will do it for the front guards
plus i spoke 2 my paint & body repair guy...and he said even if u do manage to roll the front guards, your paint is bound 2 get screwed up there
one thing u need to consider also is whether the car gonna be full most of the time or not. I got the wheels + rims with the same size as urs, and lower it so that the front look just above the tyres. They said it's lowered by 30 mm, but i guess it's more than that. The front, right one mostly, rubs when i turn fully left on certain road, even at slow speed.
Maybe you're just a heavy bloke...since front right is the drivers seat ;) :p
hahahha........i'll start my diet and will tell if it's still scrubbing or notQuote:
