anything at the front pretty much assuming a proper offset. But the rear is an issue, the lower you go. Coil overs let you go very low and then you go very rub.

On a Cobalt.

On the Redline there is rub. The air dam.

wheels are fine

not really, tires were **** anyway. I already had new ones ready to go. But still yes a mistake.


My buddy has 225/45 (or 40) not sure on LNF 18's. and with 1" spacers it looks perfect. Guy my offset is different or maybe something was different with sedans vs coupes because my wheels are 17x7. His are 17x7.5 with a wider tire.
