[Couped Up]

hey Guys i just recently bought my s2k and i already dropped it on king springs which is a 1.5 inch drop all around.Now i have 2 choices of rims im after one offers 18x8.5 +40 all around and the other offers 18x8.5 +40 fronts and 18x9.5 rear +40 could you tell me if i could fit these wheels with out a prob with only rolling the guards and if it will stick out heaps??? And also the tyre size you recommend me to use aswell???

Look at the post on the page before it will give you a rough idea of how much it will stick out..

Thanks for the pic vyets.

Couped up - do u have any pics of yours lowered on king springs? What is the ride like? Was tossing up whether or not to get them or coilovers...

[Couped Up]

Hey DBG its low but not slammed i dont mind them... how ever i would prefer coilovers i just ran out of money thats why i bought kings springs LOLZ!!!

Ive been running this setup for about 6 months..
19x9.5 all around with 235 Tyres and +35 Offset. Outcome: had to raise the car. Its now only lowered about an inch. But looks sick..

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum so bare with me on this question . I'm currently running on cr kai works 17x8 and 17x9 dont know my offset as the owner forgot what the offsets were.. I think he said +35 and +45 that was on the top of his head and he admitted he doesnt remember.. Front tyres are 225/45 and rears are 255/40.. But I was just wondering how much negative camber i would need for them to fit into my rear guards on stock camber adjustment.. Also i'm going to lower my car on Eibach pro kit springs which are about a 1" drop and i've heard people saying that lowering your car already gives natural camber? And what other solutions would there be around this problem? *running on stock shocks and springs atm stock everything* Any help would be great

Heres some photos of them sticking out of my guards not much im guessing.. Thanks guys.

you don't need more camber just roll the guards and everything should be sweet once you lower it. just get an alignment after lowing the car or you will get uneven tyre wear.

So the 1" drop will probably give the camber i need for it to fit into my guards without rubbing? Because atm i have 2 12" subs in the boot plus a fibreglass box which makes the back heavy as and then makes it easy to rub together.. Also my camber is stock atm, hasnt been touched by any of the owners.. wouldnt need to adjust them would i?

Roll you guards.. that's what I said. 1" drop won't give you enough camber to clear without a guard roll.

I've already got them rolled and still rubs. So I'll just lower it see if it fits if not I'll need to camber it then get alignment?

Oh alright then it's most likely rubbing your rear bumper you will have to trim it.

if it's not rubbing that then take off the wheel and look and see what is actually rubbing.

Yeah my brothers friend mentioned something about trimming the rear bar I guess I'll ask him about it later but question is.. If I lower it with a 1" drop and with my rolled guards, the wheel shouldn't hit the guard anymore? But most likely to hit the rear bar is that correct?
