21" step lip - your thoughts
Yep... I think he's
I'm really low and have no problems with handling and its my DD. I'm on coilovers and there is less travel as it is so I really don't think you're making a valid point.
I had an effective 8.5 +10 offset with wheels tucked a bit - could not take even semi-spirited corners... then sucking in another 5mm at same height, still had trouble on real aggressive cornering... brought the car up about 1/4" and I'm (relatively) fine.
There is a fine line between cool looks and great performance... you will never have 100% of both - guaranteed.
depends on how low you are, how wide you wheels are and what your offset is... if you are really low and have wheels near fender-line he has a very valid point = try taking hard sharp turns at high speed... I'm not talking about "spirited" cornering, I'm talking road-course/Autocross style hard cornering... quality suffers and without a doubt you will rub.

call BS all you want but I drive the hell out of my car and still keep it looking 'cool' so to speak.
either way, back on topic. if OP were to lower the car a little more, his wheels wouldn't look so small.
21 inches is one inch from having a donk/box/bubble
no bueno

True...but I have 1/8" of clearance from tire to fender, solid diff mounts, urethane bushings everywhere, corner balanced, 1.6 camber all around and track the car with no rubbing.

No rubbing on a track with 1/8" of clearance? Is this a 1/4 miles track....
OP, I say slam the **** out of your car and keep those wheels 21" is toooo big for the G. It'll make it look goofy.

I did driver's edge events in tx at a couple of the Motorsport Ranch Speedways and a few parking lot events.
Never did 1/4 mile.
And I'll re-iterate... 1/8" clearance in the rear. I have a little more in the front

that makes all the difference in the world! Having front wheels/tires pushed to the fender edge and being real low will create problems on hard aggressive cornering... looks real cool though.
Open wheel G!
