i want to get some new wheels and tires. and i want to go VERY low on the profile. i'll also be purchasing sportlines along with the wheels/tires. so i want to know if these would rub or not.

19" wheels on 215/35R19 KDW 2's <--$131/each
20" wheels on 215/30R20 KDW 2's <--$147/each

so, any rubbage with sportlines??

 

no...

 

anyone else have some input??

 

there is no more input... they fit... if you dont believe me do a search of sson20s he has 235/35/20 on airbags and not a problem. he had sportlines before it.

 

oh i believe you. i just wanted to see if anyone else had some problems or not. what works for one person may not work for someone else. but i'll take your word for it.

 

to understand tire size is to look at the numbers...215 is the width of the tire, 35 is a percentage of the 215 that creates the sidewall. and then the 19 is the rims size. so the bigger the rim doesnt matter if ur rim width is staying the same (inless u get 24s then u have a height problem) but IMO 215 30 or 35 is going to make ur tire look really tiny. i had 225 35 20's dropped on ssc springs and had no rubbing with me my wife and 2 kids in the car

 

Im lowered on sportlines with 19"s w/ a 35 profile tire, and im not even close to rubbing. Let me get a pic....

ok here ya go.

 

well i may get bags instead of springs, still up in the air. cause i like the slammed look for shows and stuff

 

i was on bags after the springs..still no problems

 

Cool. Well my car is my daily driver so I wanted it low, but not slammed. I've had slammed cars in the past, and they just weren't practical. I've put 47k on my car so far, so im very happy with my decision to go Sportlines. Take it from me too.....the car appears much lower in person. Thats a very low resolution camera, so your only seeing the shiney parts of the tires, but the tires actually fill in the gap a little more, but the non shiney part where it curves in that the tire shine dosent hit blends in with my fender wells.

Bags might ride nice (maybe?) but they're waaayy expensive, heavy, take up alot of trunk space, and you can't even take your car to the track anymore after you bag it, b/c I know 99% of tracks don't let cars with bags race. So if you wanna be slammed and still be able to use your trunk and race the car, I say go coilovers.

 

my ride height


laid on 20s



u can still go to drag strips haha u are way off on that...where u think drag bags came from?

 

Maybe its just a communist ass b/s VA law. But airbag suspension use at the track out here is strictly prohibited. But hey, if they are legal to use at the track in other states, more power to ya. Still stand by my taking up alot of trunk space and being heavy argument though.

 

its really not that bad on weight i mean if u take out the stock speaker it will even out haha...plus it takes like what 130lbs to effect a tenth of a second...its a dd for me..stuff like that and a short shifter will never make a huge difference in my life because i wont be in those races where a short shifter saved me haha...but u win on the trunk space

 

lol but I love my stock sub.

 

i upgraded...jl ftw

 

raven i know what your car looks like, i almost bought your setup haha. but whitess i'm not gonna ride around as low as i can go. i'll ride around raised so i don't bottom out and ****. i just want her to sit low for the shows
