Thread: New Suspension Q?

Hey all!! I've been scanning the forums for 2 days looking for the answer to all my questions and I have found most of them..

I have pretty much picked out the coilovers i want an Im going to buy new bushings.. Im just wondering how low can i drop my car 03 spec v on stock wheels 215/45ZR17 before i have to roll my fenders??

i believe you should be alright lowering it without having to roll the fenders. before i put on my 20mm wheel spacers, my car was lowered at least 2 inches in the front and back on BC Racing coilovers and on stock size tires and rims. if you put spacers on 10mm and up you'll have to roll the rear fenders and pull the front fenders. IDK how wide of a tire you can run before having to roll and pull the fenders. Check out 2J-Racing for any suspension performance upgrades.

Thanks snugg05 you have been alot of help!

I've seen the 04-06 wheels tucked, so that must be almost 3" drop. Not sure about the 02-03 wheels though. By design, the 06 wheels look the opposite of concave wheels, they look like they move in toward the body the higher the spokes go. The 03 wheels on the other hand, look almost straight all the way up and down. You could probably hide a little tire without any rolling though.

If rolling is an issue:

dont think you need to roll/flare unless you get a lower offset rim there is at least an inch gap on stock rims when you tuck them at least in the rear. the front theres alot of room as well only concern would be when turning.
