Does anyone have 16s with a 2 an a half inch drop with no special mods done
Any special reason the size of the wheels matters?
You'll rub or not rub regardless of your wheels (within reason) if your overall tire diameter is the same (as in 16s with smaller sidewalls).
yup just make sure you get the correct size tires....i have 16s but i have a 1.5 inch drop
I'm running 215-45r16's with a 2.25 drop on sprint springs. I had to roll my fenders in the back because of my tire size though.
205/45R16 fits fine with a 2.25 drop
Any pictures of that combo?Quote:

my coupe. 2.5 inch drop with 205/40/16. rode good. didnt get any tire rub. i did get tire rub with 215 55 16 when i hit bumps, it would rub in the back, nothing in front as i had 205 40s in the front at time. .no mods on suspension http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/p...ewin/minee.jpg

those are way better :)
welcome to the board lxaccord.
Just like Joay said, it's not really about the wheel diameter. The important facts about the wheels are the width and offset. ...then make sure you maintain the same total outer diameter for the tire you choose.
So to answer your question: Yes, you can easily drop 2" on 16's, and do it without any special mods (minus the suspension you'll need to handle a 2" drop). This can be done if you pick the right wheel/tire combo, and you won't rub a bit at all.
