with your stock heigh stick with the 15mm up front

once you plan to drop your ride, then adding a 20mm front and a 10 in the rear would set you off.

but if you want to get into the "hella flush" category then... thats a whole new ball park.

depends on the look you're going for. If you put a 20 on the front then put a 10 on the rear.

Remember the lower you go the more your camber will pull your wheels away from the fenders.

Dude, I live in Canada and my car is about to be a tic tac contained off the ground.

I say put the wheels on, see how it goes. Save up for the drop, then drop it. Then buy spacers accordingly.

on the safe side, yea. And 4DGS is right. He's crazy for dropping his that low for our roads here in Canada.

for sure drop it though, a mild drop would look a lot better, and yet you wont have to put on camber kits etc.

I said this before, if you're not hitting the caliper then you don't need a spacer. If your wheel moves on a vertical axis then you have more problems than your brakes getting scraped.

Tire question

So currently I have 245/35 19x9" (F) & 275/30 19x10" (B).
Could I up my rears to 275/35 19? Is there a reason why the height size differs? I'm running all suspension on stock

The diameter of the tire changes because the 2 numbers are actually ratios. So when one goes up, one gets elongated and vice versa.

You COULD run 245/35 and 275/35, but you would be better off running 275/30 instead. That keeps the diameters pretty close. If you have to large of a difference in diameter your speedometer will be either fast, or slow.

If you want to buy 275/35/19 I have a pair for sale!

Ok guys, round two asking for verification of rims prepping for purchase today. *PLEASE* if anyone knows of any issues at all, please let me know!

First what I plan on picking up, then the questions I have-

MRR GT1 20" - Going with 20" for the better offsets and not needing spacers.
Rims: 20x8.5 +20 Front and 20x10 +25 in rear.
Rubber: 245/35/20 fronts and 275/30/20 in rear.

Questions-
A- Will I need hubcentric rings at all? I know my 06 coupe has a bore of 66.1, i could not confirm the bore of these rims. Can anyone confirm?

B- Car is not lowered but planning on putting coilovers on within the month. Any immediate issues with a moderate drop? Should I immediately be concerned with fender rubbing or can I simply do a small drop and be safe? I am in the middle of nowhere and fender rolling is non existent here.

C- With these tire sizes, will my VDC freak out or will I not have any issues?

D- Can anyone see any other issues with this setup?

Please let me know guys, I am ready to place the order today!
Thanks again, I owe the community BIG for all the help!
