Ok was going to go a bit higher but I read that with a 2.5" drop I could run 18s but I dont know if thats true but thats not the issue the issue is just how much clearance will I have up front with my stocks becuz Im going from heated to lowering springs but still want to have plenty of clearance becuz one of my issues now is my tire hitting fender well on bumps but that prolly has a lot to do with the heated springs...as I only have as it is prolly 1 to 1 1/2"s under the fender up front


Does anyone have pics of their car with or without rims that has a 2.5 drop out front Im just kinda lost becuz I didnt lowere my car so Im not sure how much its lowered right now becuz they were previously heated
let me know

peace

with good springs and shocks that drop with stockers shouldn't rub, expect for the occaisional pothole and bump. taking the plastic fender shielding out isn't difficult though, couple a screws and plastic clips. should the bump rubs be more than you wanna deal with. I know a few folks with a 2" drop on the stock steelies, one guy kep the stockers but went with a lower profile wheel 165 to a 160 and claims it helped.
