Re: wheels and lowering
i went 40/40 on dampers n springs n didnt rub so should be fine
i had 195/45/16
but again depends on how low u go, if u go 60 or more you might have issues
should be fine but again depends how low u wanna go
thats lowerd 40/40
my old car miss it lol basic motoring!

Re: wheels and lowering

Re: wheels and lowering
