I'm currently running volks 18X7.5 +48 / 18X8.5 +50 on 225/40/18 front tires and 255/35/18 rear tires. I know I can only drop the car a minute amount before I rub however, mod day is coming up and there will be a fender roller.

If I do not roll my fenders, can I even drop the car? If so how much -- I was thinking the RS*R springs that lower the car 20mm front and 30mm rear.

If I roll my fenders, how much could I drop her?

Thanks, I suck at knowing offsets and how they actually play in how much you can drop cars.

At lest 3".

With the offset on the wheels and the size of the tires I think you may need to roll the fender lips and or run more negative camber.

there's a board member that posted on the slammed s2k post. he's got the same setup, and he's dumped. had to work the rear fender bracket and fender i believe.

Ive dropped it an inch without a problem when I had my TE's... everybodys cars differ so it might rub on yours. Mine did not rub.

you should be fine with a 1-1.5 inch drop, rolled rear fenders, and some negative camber (UK spec alignment should be ok) - the offsets don't seem too bad... I would have gone with 215/245 tires.

215/245 is your best option. or else add a bit more camber. more than the uk spec. im running those wheel spec on the 17s and they rub on the my bracket and bumper eventhough i rolled my fenders. right now i only rub on the bracket after i shave a bit on the bumper. so relocating the bracket is the last solution tot his porblem. but if i had 215/245 i wont go this far on the bumper and bracket. by the way, im running -1.5F and -3R on camber. and drop around 1.25-1.5
