    I need a help for my suspension setup !

    205/50/17

    17x7.5
    +35 offset

    if i drop 1.5 inches all around, would it rub?

    if it would rub. what inch drop( I want at least 1.0~1.3) and what camber set would be the best for those wheels/tires without any problem?

    i'm so noob on this.. :( i'm going to change my suspension setup next monday, and get alignment as well.. so i need these info ..

    i would be grateful for any help !

    Do you want non stock camber settings?

    Also, are you getting coilovers, or springs?
    Coilovers will allow for you to fine tune your height

    You will probably have to roll your fenders.
    I recommend you do so, even if you don't mod anything, just for future possibilities.

    I dont think you will in the rear with just daily/ casual driving
    But as they compress they might rub in the rear.

    If you don't need to/ want to, I would keep close to stock camber settings.
    Just to save tires, and safety reasons.

    But you can do whatever you want
    If you're going to get full coilovers with the adjustable height, I'd just get all the stuff and work with it from there
    When you have variable height abilities, you can work with what you have, and make things fit.

    ????? if u have coilovers just lower it and see if it rubs, stop obsessing.

    Off topic, 205/50 isnt the greatest size for a 17x7.5 either

    Yeah I don't know why but this is the third thread recently where someone wants to run 50s on a 17 inch wheel.
