I Picked up a set of TC rims for ultra cheap to go on my 95 gt. I want to lower it with an eibach kit and was wondering a few things: spacers(sizes), tires(size), and shock choice.
I've read that 225/45/17 are recommended. Is that at stock ride height or would that work lowered too? 38mm spacer for rear brings it to 7mm. That too far? Should I get the 25mm? I like hellaflush style, but not necissary. And 15mm for front? Im not sure. Getting rear fenders rolled, I gathered that much. Lastly, what shock is recommended to use with the lowering springs? I appreciate all help and input. Thank you. |

I'm looking to lower it just purely for style. Most things on this car will be about looks. It's not going to be auto crossed or anything like that. Just a nice looking little car to toodle around in. Like my version of a 70 year olds corvette. Just want to know the right way to setup the scion rims to look nice fitting and get best ride I can. Tire size being stock is not a concern. And with the knowledge base here I'm sure I can achieve this in a more cost effective manner than trial and error.
Main thought is I don't want to be rubbing inside fender wells and ruining panels or tires. The eibachs drop it 1.5" and I put spacers on to give it a nicer stance, what size rubber would be advisable with what size spacers? Thanks to all. |
