#762, "HELP!! tires and drop"


          

PARTY ON DUDES!!! Ok i'm totally confused now! I want tires with a taller sidewall and also want to drop her. I plan on some autocrossing but also cruisin. The gap between my tire and fender is about 4 inches and that looks real wretched. I was thinkin Eibach pro kit and 215/45/17 toyo's. Any and all input is greatly appreciated.

well no matter what you do,if you lower with reglar springs (especially something as minimal as pro kit) you are still gonna have several inches of gap. even the 2.5" Sprints dont eliminate the gap with lo-pro tires.

i have the sprint 2 inch drop springs and 215/45/17 tires and there is almost no wheel gap in the front and about an inch in the back. also im riding on blown out factory shocks (its to cold to change them now) so that may be why im so low. my best friend just bought a 98 talon that came with H&R springs (dont know wich ones) also on factory shocks and he has virtually no gap all around!!

at a 45 degree angle. I do that and have not scrapped my front in a year or so. Sometimes it just cannot be helped.
