Question: can i lower my car with 10.5 in the rear?

Hello,

Sorry for the newbie question. I tried to search but couldn't find the answer. I'm planning to lower my car but the rear wheels are 19x10.5 with 22offset wrap with 295-30-19. The wheels stick out a little bit, i was wonder if it will be a problem if i lower my car? the fenders are already rolled and im thinking about the tein basic.

any help would be great! thank you!

Even if you realign the car close to specs after a drop, I don't think you should have an issue if the fenders are rolled.

I have a 10.5" rear wheel with +18 offsets on 275 rubber. I can't even stick my fingers through the fender and I still don't rub. And my fenders aren't rolled. Once I get my alignment done though, I will definitely have to roll them.

i rolled my fenders because it was rubbing when i hit the bumps. maybe when i lower the car, i should change the tires to 275 or 285. Would that help?

I was lowered pretty low on 10.5. Roll your fenders and your good to go.

If your going with coilovers, I'd say start with a little drop and keep going until it get where it look great with the rims. Right now I have 1" and 1.5" on stock 18's, just bought 20's 10.5 in the back, May drop more, we'll see. Go coilovers for adjustability

Keep a good amount of camber and roll the fenders and you should be fine.
