Default 16 x 7.5 will they rub on an eg with a 2.25 - 2.5 drop?

i am getting ready to order my RG's and will a 16 x 7.5 rub on a 2.25 - 2.5 drop? the springs are neuspeed pro drops. they only offer 5 on 114.3 in a 16 x 7.5. well thats all i see on gruppe-s. i hope they wont rub because if they do, ill just have to go with a ss tein set-up.

you should be fine w/ that size rim on a 2-2.5drop. Any wider or bigger you may have problems.
Good luck...

it will all depend on the offset of the wheel as well.

if you run 7.5 wide rims i assume your going to be using 215 tires? 205's will be stretching it


7.0=205
7.5=215
8.0=225
etc.

Go with the above sizes, 205 on 7.5 widths will work but it gives the rim no lip protection at all which = to bent lips all the time.
