for reference of how it is tucking.


I need to find new center caps that are blank or something.

B-Well

tires would easily solve that.

if your at 235 now,
a 215 will give you 9-11mm clearance from fender to tire

I'm not actually dropped any, but I do have a pretty aggresive fitment.

I only rub my rears, and that's only with more than 2 people in the car and when I take a turn too sharp or hit a bump. I've got the max I can get with camber bolts and pulled my rears as much as I could IMO.

IMO my problem will be fixed once I get coilovers as I'll be able to add a little more camber and I should be able to make it stiffer.

A different tire may also help too. From what I was reading some tires are better at stretching than others. I'm sure Brian could recommend something.

Yeah, I figure 215s will fix the issue. But I am also thinking just changing my wheels out for 11s on 235s will fix my issue as well.



Ya, if I have 2 people in my car I am cutting it close. If I use my backseat for someone then I rub on everything.


I am using Falken 512s right now. For the reason that everyone stated they stretch the best.

I'm dropped about an inch and a quarter. . . have a hard time getting over some speed bumps and have to flat out drive around some.

I am not quite at that stage. I dropped it to the point where I can clear medium sized speed bumps, get up these stupid v-curb drains in florida (every driveway and most road entrances have them) and my front and rear splitters start even on the sides with my sideskirts but sweep upward toward the middle. Which allows me more clearance. But on the flip side my shit sits too high for my liking.


I did fix my rub issue. I went back and cranked the spring tension up so it has very little movement now. Of course it is not quite comfortable to drive as it was yesterday but in a few days I will get use to it.

But now that I know that is fixed, I will probably drop the car even more and increase the spring tension again. Just sucks that my coilover tube is maybe 1 inch from hitting my knuckles so I don't have much more room to play with.

I am seriously thinking about changing my wheels to something 11in in rear and 9.5 up front, would pull my fenders and use a bigger stretch to make it work though. I dunno, I think CCW classics would look beast on my car but I need a project car, so that money would have to wait.

C4 Corvette wheels?

yes.

i can attest to this

they do, but no when you run a 235 on a 9.5 loool. buy a 205 45 falken 512, you can get them for 90 bucks a piece, and will be worth every single penny.

or let them rub. i remember on my blue car actually having the tire sit on the fender, and i drove until i wore the sidewall off my tire, which gave me perfect amount of clearance.
