Clearance Question.. - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #37323 6 posts Started by beastman
Before i go and buy more parts to lower my car with the eibach pro-kit (1.0" drop), i was wondering if anyone knew if a 225/45-18 sized wheel and tire will rub on the wheelwells if i drop it? Or does anyone know how i could figure this out besides installing the springs and seeing what happens?? Thanks for anyones input. All help is appreciated!

Well, seeing as you already have all the measuremets you'd need, why not use those to work it out?

when I have my car slammed the wheels don't rub.. now I don't go around driving it so bumps might hit, but I can at least tell you that at this level the tires don't rub fender...

There are plenty of people on this site with 18's and have 2' drops and don't rub. So im pretty sure your gonna be ok.
thanks everyone for the input so far!

225/35-19 Dropped on Tech-S springs no problems what so ever, and I dont have a good offset either.

I am going 245F, and 255R and there should be no problems with even those.
