WBvega, I am not surprised you are good to go, because Techart knows what they are doing. But when getting custom wheels, one might have the same sized wheels and tires, and even the same ride height, but they could possibly rub due to different offsets. Do you happen to know yours for a reference? And maybe how many fingers you can fit between the fender and tire (you said you're lowered until you don't rub, but we don't know what that is). Thanks!

 

Hi Wyatt -

I totally agree. PERSONALLY i would stick with the major Mfr.s for wheels. For me HRE or Techart were the choices. Also, choosing a wheel shop (preferrably a 6speed sponsor) is smart because they know your car. I got my wheels/tires from Wheels Boutique in Miami.

Re: lowering. I am not sure the exact mm drop but if i can put 1 finger between the tire & fender both front & back. If i had to guess, its around 30mm. Originally they set it to Techart height specs, but it wasnt low enough (again...to me), so i had them go a little lower.

Hope this helps y'all.
