    14'' Rims on EG

    I got 14'' Rims on my car, but it's slammed, sometimes scrap muffler pipe when go over humps. I dunno how much dropped springs it on, most likely chopped springs from previous owner.

    Just wondering what would be a good drop for a 14'' rim on a EG? I don't want much finger gap between the fenders, but I wanna be able to get over humps without scraping sometimes. How many '' I should drop it to? I don't want my car to look like a monster truck too. :P


    And who here has 14'' rims on EG, post pics :P

    2.5'' drop would be alright, not too high, not too low, I don't know how much it will fill your guards though.

    You want to fill your guards with 14'' wheels but don't want your exhaust/sump/headers to scrape ? Cmon man, alot of people wish they could have that look without scraping shit.. You have to learn to live with it if you want that look.

    Yeh I know but sometimes it gets annoying, I have to give up alot. Like not go shopping centres and stuff.


    2.5 inch drop on 14 inch rims, anyone who has this, can you tell me how much finger gap between guards? Ta!

    @ JDM Power, I'm assuming those are 14's and 2.5inch drop? You can make it over humps easily now? - What springs are you on?
