i will be installing my mugen lowdowns this weekend,
this will theoretically drop the R 3/4in all around
my 16x7 te37s ( thanx to Batoutahell) with 215/45/16 Azenis will go on next week

this will basically be my track setup for the upcoming year

will i have any rubbing issues with this setup?

 

what is the offset on the wheels?

 

You might experience slight rubbing while on the Track but day to day driving I say no. I have Spoon Springs and I rub very slightly during hard cornering and I beleive the Lowdowns aren't as extreme of a drop, good luck.

 

i have to double-check the offset

rubbing on which corner?

 

Here is the best pic I have of the clearence, hope it helps......I rub in the rears only, about 1 inch in the center of the well.

 

The offset on the volks is +42. For what it's worth, the volks with 205/45/16 Yokohama A520's didn't even come close to rubbing on my car (I have the lowdowns also). Granted, I never tracked the volks, but I did autoX with them once with no clearance problems.

 

did you do that at the track?
i don't think the lds with produce that much of a drop in the rears

the spooms are notorious for their low rear drop

nice wheels by the way

 

ah, there you are
thanx for chiming in jim

 

thanks

I rub on the streets as well but very rarely, not enough to cut into the rubber or anything like that........I think you'll be ok with the lowdowns.

Oh yeah, I rub on the outer sidewall of the rear tires.
