hey guys i got a question. im attempting to find out how low is a safe drop from stock height on a 98 civic before i can have just enough clearance for the wheel to avoid fender rub at all? dont flame me all im lookin for is answers. tia

 

what size wheels/tires? Is it the stock 185/45/14?

I have a 97 civic coupe and i don't rub with a 2.5 in drop on stock wheels

For sure!

No, seriously. It all depends on what size wheels and tires you are running. I have 205/50 tires on 15in wheels and I'm rubbing on a 1.8" drop. Not severly, but on sold dips/bumps.

get coils and you can adjust how high/low u are til u find that point.

on a 205/45/16 setup you should be able to drop your car easily 2-2.5 inches no problem. Past that, fender rub would probably be an issue.

 

i got 205/40/r16's and i'm at 2.5. i could probley go another 1/2 inch safely with no fender rub.

 

thanks alot guys

 

my ej8 is dropped 2.5inchs + all around, i'm on 205/50/15's with a 45 offset. Had to roll my fenders a little, no bigge though.
