    a 35mm offset on 15's with a 1.6" drop?

    uh oh, i just thought of something. I think that my wheels have a 35 offset, but I'm not positive on that. I do know however that they are WAY off 42-45. They damn near sitck out past the fenders, actually, the tires are more like flush with the outer fender.

    Now I just bought B&G's and have Koni's to compliment them. Just wondering, is it even possible to install all this without scrubbing?

    The only way you can get away with it is if you are running or get 195/50-15 size tires. You need to make new rims the next thing on your shopping list. Especially since you won't be able to run the tire size that will benefit your new suspension parts the most, 205/50-15. You can't even run 195/55-15 for that matter, I tried it and their was no way,(when I used to have 35mm offset rims that is).

    ok, so then although it's misplaced, I now will need a set of 15's with a 40-45 mm. offset.

    205/50/15's (Nitto 450's) It's real close. I do get a little fender rub under heavy turning in the front, and with just a little trimming, and rolling the remainder of the rear lip, it should be fine. But that's just the temporary fix. I really do need a new set of 15 or 16's with the correct offset. Do you happen to know anyone who may have a set of either 15 or 16's with a closer-to-stock offset that would fit my car?
