#4516, "Sprint springs and 17's"


          

I am thinking of getting the Sprint springs that have a 2" drop. Would I run into any problems with my 17's with a 50 series
tire on? Would it scrape on the inside fender or will I be cool?


Mod List:
-NGK BKR5E-11 Plugs
-Magnecore 8.5 Wires
-AEM CAI(thanx to endless73)
-GS-T Muffler
-Upper Front Strut Bar

no more 420A

only 4G63

fine? 50 series tires? 215/45 or 225/45 keep a close to stock overall diameter. With 50 series tires on 17... what tread with? I'm thinking you are getting too big and will be throwing the speedo off, and possibly rubbing the fender wells.

The strongest way to block, is never to provoke a blow,
And the cleanest cut is the one withheld."

I want to go from 215/40/17 to 215/50/17 too. I think it will work beacause the GSX came with 50's
