14879, Will it work 225/50R16 w/tanabe springs?
Posted by Luzionist, Jan-13-03 06:24 PM
Hey guys I was wondering if I get the tanabe sustec springs wich are a 1.3inch drop, will I have problems with my 225/50R16? Right now it seems like there is no clearence with that arm, I can barely stick a finger in between the tire and the arm. What other possibilites do I have?

Yes it will fit. I used to have sportline with 225-50-16 with no problem.
