I looked at pics of Dave's car with the +55 wheels on them - even though his car is higher at rest than mine - it ultimately has similar peak roll and he doesn't rub, so I felt comfortable with buying the +55's and running them on my car. We'll find out for sure in a week in Peru. I haven't put them on the car yet.
well the 1 and only time i had a tire rub was at salina, ks and it tried a set of v710 - 275 kumhos on the front. those tires are very tall. other wise i have ran bfg r1 255 and hoosier A6 245 on the front and never had a rubing issue at lower than stock ride height.

You would be better off using four OEM 8.5" rears or the TR Motorsport wheels. The TR wheels are pretty nice as I have seen a set on a local car. Unless you are contenting for the number one national spot the weight difference will be in the noise.
so i accidentally stripped the little allen screw on 2 of my spring perches today so im stuck at my current ride height for now FML... but I am getting my car aligned, gonna see how much less camber in the rear I can get with it stuck at this ride height, also going for more camber up front and trying it without the rear bar. we'll see how it goes
I tried a whole set and couldnt get them out, so I drilled them out completely and made my own locking system using a philips head screw. It works, ugly but works. im eventually gonna order new perches and immediately take the allen screws out, fins other screws that fit and use them.
What happened? Did the allen screw seize in the hole when you were trying to loosen it? Or did you tighten it too much?
The Koni perches use nylon-tipped allen screws that don't need to be set that tight. If the nylon tip wears out, you can get replacements from McMaster.
