probably a dumb question(about lowering)

[nismobenzo]

i have 17x9s on the front but i wana go lower..
but if i go any lower ill scrape my fender by just turning the wheel..
is rolling or overfenders the only way to do this?
i figured it was but ive only had coilovers about 4 months so this is a new area for me

How low are you already? And other wheel info would be helpful- offset, tire size...

He's pretty low already, with 17x9+20 XXR 006's. I can't remember the tire sizes though. But generally, if you want go lower, here's what you'll need:
stretched tires
negative camber
rolled/pulled fenders

I think this would be a good setup for you to copy:

The more negitive camber you dial in, the less possiblity of a fender pull being required.

simmode1 pretty much already covered it, gotta get that lip out of the way on the fenders and run more camber or more stretch or both

you should be golden if you max your camber on your coilovers and hammer that lip out of the way

[simmode1]

I think you can avoid excessive negative camber and fender pulling by running 215/40/17 tires up front. The rears should be fine with 235/40/17's.

You might be able to get away with -2.5 degrees of camber in the front and -2.0 of camber in the back with no pull at all...

cool thanks~ yeah my coilovers dont have camber plates and i dont know how to them on but maybe i can find someone to help me...ill def need to look into smaller tires tho!

and i dont really have any problem with the back..i can go way lower..
i just dont know how much more camber i can run until the inside of the tires rub the inside of my fender wells

in the back you could probably get away with -3 before that happens

[nismobenzo]

how much would you guess i have now?

[poshatch]

id say from that picture you got close to -3

what tire size are you running up front?

[nismobenzo]

what tire size are you running up front?

HUGE! ...because oklahoma city/country roads are deathly..
hicks in their big a** trucks tear the roads up

thats no soooo bad

a 215 seems like a pretty standard front stretch 205 being more on the extreme side for a 9" but usually a 40 sidewall
