Lowering Question

Hi all,

Just put my BBS LM's on. They are 245/35/19 and 285/30/19. There is no rubbing at all in the back, slight rub in the front at full turn.

Problem is that the car really needs to be lowered with this setup and I'm thinking H&R springs. How will it affect the the front, will it rub much more?

What do you guys think? Help me out

It depends on your offsets. My RGR's front offset is -32, and with 245 tires I had slightl rubbing issue but it only happened when I turned the steering wheel full lock.

I have the same offset et32, GP20. How much have you lowered the car? Did you have any issues before lowering it?

I had the H&R springs before when I noticed the rubbing issue. It really wasn't a problem during regular driving.

I now have the TCKline coilovers.

Have you considered putting in a spacer--say 12mm or so up front?

Probably that would fix the rubb issue, but I think the wheel is already a bit outside the fender, it's OK but more would be too much.
