hey this may have been asked all ready i tried to search but my internet was messing up and wouldnt search..... but i have a 05 coupe and i just ordered 17x7 rims with 225/45/17 tires.... what i am wondering is how much should i drop i would like to do coilovers but as a teen still in school money is pretty tight

 

Those tires are gonna be too big for a drop...

I wouldn't recommend anything lower than 1.5"

Unless you get smaller tires, or roll the fenders out.

 

you can diy a fender roll with a baseball bat. It might be time consuming but people have done it.

 

should of went with 215/40

225's/45/17's are gunna rub no matter wat. Probably your best bet for springs are H&R sport, tein S tecs, or eibach sportlines, as they all have mild drops

 

won't rub if you roll your fenders.

 

how hard is it to roll the fenders?????

 

You wanna chip your paint?

 

hard enough that I wouldn't try it myself.

Take it to a well known shop, that has done many fenders before.
