wheel rub

would 18inch rims with 215/35ZR18 tires rub with a megan racing 2" drop? or would you guys recommend a slightly less of a drop?

Re: wheel rub

im not sure. wat kind of car, i think the 1 in the pic is a talon right? if so then yeh, you probally will rub. how wide are the wheels? o, and 18s will cut your performance a lot.

Re: wheel rub

If you stick with a 17" wheel and a 2" drop then it'll be fine... 18's could have a possibility of rubbing...

Re: wheel rub

i have konig 18's with 235/45/18 tires, my car is also lowered with eibach sportlines, and theres no rubing, but it might depend on the offset of your wheel.

Re: wheel rub

I've got 17's with a 1.75" drop... that's plenty... I'd have to agree, it would most likely depend on your offset and tire width...

go 19 with skinnies and a 2.5" drop...

Edit: oops, I just looked at how long ago this was... my apologies, though I still think it's a kick ass idea
