How can I go lower?
« on: May 28, 2013, 10:04:45 am »
As above really, I have some coilovers which are about 80% down but not fully.

The rears are near arches and the fronts will rub if any lower any ideas?

Wheel specs? Front looks like it could go a load lower, but I'd wager you're going to want narrower profile tyres..

As said above, get some stretched tyres. Those side walls are huge!

Will improve the look of the wheel x10 in my opinion too  :happy2:
