I should think you'll have some rubbing issues on the back running as low as you are!

Ive read some people have had to have the rears rolled slightly to fit the 9.5s... My route to work is not great, bumpy to say the least but luckily i dont rub atm. The last thing i'd want to have to do is start cutting about my inner arches but i guess its what you have to do in the persuit of lowness  :notworthy:

the rear just needs some camber and the stretched tyres to give you enough room to run the 9.5  :happy2:

I was running 215/35/18 on eibach coliovers no back adjusters from 3 threads left.... on 225/40/18 I was catching a bit only on dips on the road at the rear but mine don’t really sit that low.

Will be fitting 9.5 on rear and can give update on that once done… running 225/35/19 on that...
