#14098, "Sportlines and 225 tires"


          

This is for anybody that is, or was using Eibach Sportlines with 225 tires. I know you have to roll the inner fender, i'm already taking care of that, but my question is have you ran into the problem of the tire contacking the outer fender? Once you drop it, do the rear wheels tuck up inside of the fender? I just want to make sure when i lower it off the jacks, my body won't settle on top of the wheel. By the way, i have 18x7.5 rims, with 225/40 tires on them. Thanks guys.

Yup, I basically have the same setup as u. 225/40s with sportlines. Didn't have any problems after rolling the fender. When ur done, get an alignment, just in case u didn't know.

How big of a gap is there between the tops of the tires and the fenders in the front and the back? And when you said rolling the fenders, you're just talking about the inner fender right? Thanks for the help.

Not sure. I know the fronts are pretty far. The rears are the ones that u definitely have to roll. Right now, I could fit two fingers in between the gap.
