Default Can my car be lowered?

I had my tires and wheels put on at discount tire here in Florida, and after they put them on the guy who worked there advised me NOT to lower the car because it will rub.

My wheel specs are;


Front
Size: 17x9
Offset: +62mm
Backspacing: 7.44"
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire Size: 205/50-17

Rear
Size: 17x9
Offset: +62mm
Backspacing: 7.44"
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire Size: 225/45-17


I'm not 100% on what size tires I have on the car, I know the front is smaller than the back. I'll have to check when I get off work.

I desperately need to lower the car it's stock height >_<

Confirm those tire sizes and then get back to us. Those are some crazy sizes for the width of wheel.

+62 offset and you cant lower the car... have you been to the gallery section of these forums? nowadays anything above 40 offset and not slammed is considered ugly lol..... you will have no trouble slamming that puppyy

You will be fine. Get some coilovers.

You should run 255 tires and slam the crap outta it.

I have the Exact same specs on my wheels and I run a 4mm spacer on the front wheels with no rub on rolled fenders.
