    Yes... I'll be able to pull them off

    So after posting pics of my wheels mounted on the car everyone said I was going to rub hardcore and that I had to get a smaller size for the back. I was pretty bummed to hear that because I had just spent $400 for the rear tires and would now have to get rid of them. On top of that I was going have to shell out more money in order to re-arrange all four tires. Luckily it turns out they'll fit and worst case scenario I'll just have some neg camber in the back. It's not going to stay this low I just wanted to see how much it would rub and let the settling take its place. Wheel and tire setup: 18x8 225/40/18 and 18x9 255/35/18

    Better pics:






    Talk about tight...

    i would have stretched the tires a bit more. 235's would have tucked up nicely in there

    Thanks man, but theres no way in hell I'm keeping it that low. My boys keep ripping on me telling me I'm getting old and that it looks too good to raise it lol... It's going to come up .75" or maybe even a full inch.

    Don't remind me lol.. I'm a noob to the staggered world. Plus I was so concerned on the enough rim protection part and also the difference to keep Quattro happy that I over looked the fender/C arm clearance part. Lesson learned and now if for some reason I need new rears I'll go 245's.

    Maybe, but for what I paid for them I couldn't even buy KO4's and inlets. Finally I was lucky to catch a sick deal.

    yeah, i'll try to find the pics. i can't take new one's because the car is not with me right now..

    but damn, that's even tighter than i thought. i would consider rolling your fenders. you don't want to end up like this fender

    Hahahaha yea man I wasn't kidding when I said "Talk about tight". Believe me only if it was that easy, but the rear fenders are already rolled on our cars so there isn't much I could do about that. Right now on flat ground it's at 24.5" and in that pic on a driveway entrance it's probably at 23.5". I'm not worried anymore because the back is only sitting that low for shits and giggle(so the springs can settle). Then once it's all settled I'm raising it back up to 25.75" in the rear. At that height with a good alignment I should have no problems even with people in the car. Positive thinking The fronts(25.5") are cool, but I'm still going to roll the fronts just for the added security. The car doesn't move right now it just a garage queen until mid June so thats the only reason it's so low. If you get those pics shoot them off to me.
