Default Quick Answers Needed

Hey Guys

I JUST (like 10 mins ago) bought ASA FR1's.

Quick question. I just ordered 17x8's for all four corners (They ran out of 17x9's at Tirerack). I got 225's up front and 245's in the back. Do you think they'll rub if I drop it an inch all the way around with a eibach pro-kit? (I want to be able to change my order quickly if need be). Should I have gone with a 215 up front?

Thanks,

Pizark

I would seriously consider cancelling the order until you can find the correct rear wheels. Non-staggered setups have the real potential for spooky handling at the limit. A real potential for some serious oversteer.

In addition to that - 8" +49 offsets in the rear with 245s *might* rub if lowered. 225s in the front will likely rub on bumpy turns.

I think the FR1 is coming back under another name...

You can lower the car no problem with this set up. The ASA will be coming back undr the Kazera name. We get a little better deal but the wheel stays the same.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you
