hey guys i need a little help. i just lowered my whip and im having some rubbing problems just on the passanger rear side. . i just wanted to know what the best offset for our cars. i put it up some and it still rubs some but little.what else can i do without rolling the fenders. right now the wheels are 17x7.0, 4x100/108, ET40, Gunmetal on 205, 40,.thanks.

 

wow, no help here...........

 

Hmmmm adjust the height a lil more and get 15's or 16's if youre gonna slam it that drastically. If you leave it that height not much can be done to save you money on tires.

 

what's the offset for the rims?

Did you roll your fenders?

Did you check your camber? You lowered it pretty good so make sure you get an alignment.

Doesn't matter how big the rim is from 15-18s or however big. What's 108?

the offset is 40, no i didnt roll the fenders cause none of the shops the mechine to do it, and yes i got my alignment yesterday and everything is good. the only thing is the left side rear rubs and i did put it up some,

 

raise up your rear, your front doesn't go that low. your car looks like it has a saggy ***.

your offset is fine for our cars, it shouldn't rub unless you have it lowered that much + have some negative camber, like 2 degrees.

but yeah, raise that ****.

they probably didn't set the left and right same the exact same when they aligned it. it could be off by a little.

Another thing you can do to fix it is roll the fenders. Search on this site you should be able to find more data on rolling fenders.

I always thought the most ppl put on a stock civic is +35 offset. U're the first i've heard of it - cool.

i ran 18/215/35 +35 offset and it never rubbed. I was about as low as you.

why not send them in for an overhaul? Tein offers that hehe. I might just do that to mine instead of buying new ones. . just get them repainted too! maybe blue or black to look stock.

in that pic that you linked, thats the lowest

 

which is?? how many inches? in my pics thats three inches.

 

no idea... 3" prob
