Front wheels are 18 x 8.5 with +35 offset and 245/40/18 tyres wrapped around them. I have the "standard" Z32 suspension upgrade; KYB AGX shocks, Eibach Pro Kit springs, 300 Degree camber compensation kit, and Stillen sway bars. According to the Eibach specs the drop is .8" all around. There is some rubbing on the driver's side in front but that is most likely due to the plastic inside the fender bulging out. I have an appointment to get that fixed in about a week.
:I would like to see tire setups and if the tire rub. It seems a lot of cars run a 245/40/18 setup with no problems...but you never know how low the car is. I don't think my front offset helps the situation. It's 18x8.5(+28) and barely clears my z33 brake kit.
:For everyone running 18x8.5 front wheels...
:For low is your car dropped?
:What tire size are you running?
:What's your offset?
:Does the tire rub?
:I dropped(SPL) the car further than my previous Eibach setup. The ground to fender is 25.5 inches all round, which is about a 1 inch drop...only .2 further than a typical Eibach setup. I probably should have gone with smaller diameter tires. My old worn out 245/40/18 KDW2's are rubbing on compression.
:The bad news: My tire order is already here HTRZ III 245/40/18
:The good news: I can send them back since they aren't mounted. Going with a 235/40/18 looks to save a 1/2 inch diameter.
:I could just scratch the III's but i really wanted to try them out. heh, maybe i should align the car with bad tires and see what happens.
