I recently lowered my ap1 more i can't stand a big gap between my front bumper and the ground. The smaller that gap is the happier I am, I'm on form & function type 2 coilovers and I went pretty low. The back is fine but my front tires are rubbing against the arched frame, I have ap1 wheels with 205/55/16 up front, I'm not sure about my alignment settings but I'm not cambered crazy or anything. I was wondering if anyone has ran into this when lowering there s that much? Or has any suggestions. I was thinking I might need spacers up front to clear the arch, any insight? Here's a pic fr reference Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

Thanks!

Wrong link like always, sorry

you either need spacers or different wheels, or reduce negative camber but i wouldnt do that. im on 17x9 255 in front pretty low and it never touches the inside, just the fender a tiny biy

Here's an idea, raise the car up so it doesn't rub?

Carbon Blue

raise the car

RedCelica

raise the car

lower the car... oh wait...

You could try running front tires with lower profiles. A 50 series would give you ~.25 in more clearance, a 45 series would give you about .5 in. This would also lower the front of your car by the same amount....

Like others said - get some spacers or some lower offset wheels. We've seen this on many customer track cars.

I've raised it up since the day I saw the rubbing, as you may tell the rings on the coils are loose, I was In the process I raising it any ideas on how big of spacers would be ideal to clear?
