The 245/40/18 R-compounds are much wider than a typical street 245/40/18 and I don't think you can fit them with the car lowered without modifying the fenders or running a decent amount of negative camber.

Thanx alot. I'd really like to see how it fits after u lower it. Been contemplating on the linea lemans wheels w the 45+ offset, but I want to know if it'd fit after being lowered. Plz let me know when u lower it. I'd appreciate it

thanx

Most likely it will be a while

I've scraped the bumper at the stock ride height more times than I would like and that will only get easier and create worse damage with it lowered.

Plus I really haven't found a good solution to lower it that fits my needs yet. I'm going to wait till there is a nice strut and spring combo to hit the market since I just don't need the adjustments of a coilover setup and I would like similar to stock ride quality.

Same here. I'm waiting for aftermarket shocks & struts & a roll center adjusters to come out

Do u have any side views of the side profile. To see the poke or lack of poke?

jimbobrand · 09-25-2012, 02:40 PM

Not at the moment. I'll try to take some after work.

Looks beautiful! I like the bit of arch gap.
