droping

[jerzralliart]

just wondering if i drop my car 1inch to 2inch's will it bother my tires , i plan on 215 225/18/35's???

[sside3]

yes it will matter big time. I am looking to put 17's on my lancer and they say at stock height i wont be able to make a U turn without my tires rubbing.

What kind of springs/coilovers are you gonna use to "drop" your car?

[jerzralliart]

i was thinking tein? i am actually leaning towards just getting 17's. though you can't go to much wider then 205 with 17's nor can you get 35's.

i lowered my 98 lancer 2" with 17" wheels, and it rarely scrubs, only occasionally whilst 'u' turning. it is common to drop them 3" for 16", 2 for 17" and 1" for 18" wheels. i would imagine you would deffinately have to roll your guards for 18s though...

Teins would be awsome. They work very well.

by the way im 17 40, CE lancer (98)... im not sure what differences there are but a mate who works at ozzy tyres implied that there isnt much diff at all...

i really don't care if the tires rub if you do a u turn , just means when you do a u turn you can't turn your wheels all the way, you'll just have to do a k turn.

i was just worried about if i got two people sitting in the back if every freakin bump i hit , my tires are gonna be rubbin.

if you drop it you should get stiffer springs anyway. you wont have to much trouble, if you do you probably shouldnt be going those speeds over those bumps anyway ... good luck...

Well if thats the problem I suggest that you change your wheels for smaller ones.
