Dropping your car / rims...
Okay... so my friend got new 17" rims and he rubs like HELL. I see that a lot of you guys have ground control springs and 17" wheels... I was wondering how the hell you guys aren't rubing your tires against your wheel wells. I want to get 17" rims, decently big tires(not ultra low profile) and maybe drop my car alittle. How do I do this without rubbing?
Thanks for the input

I've got 17" Konig Sub Zeros and about 2 1/2" or more drop. I don't rub at all....I'm willing to bet what Mokushi said is correct. Don't buy just any rims. Make sure they fit the requirements for our car.
I have 18 inch niche pultecs with sportline 1.4 drop and I get NO rub ...
the camber looks screwed up cause my tires curve in about 1 degree ... but its just enough , the lip of my
rims comes right to the inner lip of the fender . its a 4dr too
i dont see how you coudl have problems . If you want you
can do what my future plans are ..... get the rear fenders crimped . make sure u get it done by a bodyshop cause paint likes to
flake. But thats cause I want dubs. lol oh yeah my tire size is 215/35/ 18

This is interesting I found out that our rear wheel wells are smaller than the fronts so if you don't get the right tire size it will rub. I gat a wheel and tire package but the tires are to big so they are getting my very low profile tires. So now I will be able to fix me camber. I can't beacuse it rubs.
