    Re: New Wheels and Tires!

    Thanks guys! But After I slapped those wheels on there last night, i noticed that the tires come realllllly close to the torsion bars, and it doesn't look like I will be able to drop it.. but im not sure.. It may be because the tires are soo wide.

    That means it has to do with the offset of the wheel, because I am running 205/45/r15 and that mean my tires are wider then yours. When you say the torsion bars, do you mean the one that runs from the suspension to the front frame of the car. marked here on this picture

    Well that should not make a difference when you lower it unless it is already hitting that bar. Have you checked to see if it rubs with the wheel is turned all the way one direction?

    They make Zero contact with anything atm, wheels fully cranked, taking turns full speed... no rubbage whatsoever, so you think ill be ok?

    BTW thanks for all the comments!! Im really glad I went with that set of wheels now, I wasnt quite sure if everyone would like them or not, but now im glad I have them! Thanks alot guys.

    .... Next comes the exhaust, then the window tint, and then if possible im gonna drop the car.

    If the torsion bars are the only thing they are close to, you should be ok. I would check to see how close they get to the inside of the fender (with the wheel turned all the way in one direction). That is where I would be the most worried about rubbing. Turn the wheel all the way to the left and look in the wheel wells to see how close the tire gets to the fender area. I cannot say for sure if they will rub the fender (after a drop) unless I knew the offset of the wheels.

    Thanks! I have the center caps, I actually just put them on after I took the pictures, I had to run to the hardware store to get the right screw to attach them to the wheels, but they are on now, maybe ill take some more pics when i get home.
