Has anyone lowered their car with 235's up front? I want to lower my car but am afraid that it will definitely cause problems with that wide of a tire.

 

Stock wheels? If not, what size and offset?

 

i had 235/40's and progress springs and the rear tires would rub over really big bumps... the front was fine...

 

Stock wheels... 235/40's. What is the progress drop?

 

You don't need to worry, I got 235s with sportlines and no problems at all.

 

Isn't cruisin running 235's on his stock G5 GT wheels? And he's lowered on BC coilovers.

 

Im lowered on 235-40s with goldline springs. Ive never had a problem.

 

hes on 245's and coilovers

 

Same here.

235/40 r18 BFG KDW2's FTW

 

235's are too wide for the stock wheels. I have 235's on 8" wide wheels and they are almost wider than I would like. You are going to sacrifice cornering performance with 235's on a 7" wheel.

 

kwest has tenzo's and 235 all the way around on konig hotswaps

 

Can someone post pics of 235's on the stock wheels?? I have searched and cannot find any.

 

i had 19's with air ride suspension dropped to the ground with 235..

 

This is simply not true. At least, not that I can tell, and I drive quite 'spirited'...

 

245/40/18s here on 8" rim w/ 1/4" gap all the around on BC SPORT COILOVERS.

It only rubs when u-turning around on very, I mean very un-even, un-paved roads.

 

Lets see some pics of that **** - pronto!!

 

I agree... The tires don't bulge whatsoever. I have't noticed any adverse effects at all.

 

im lowered on sportlines.. i have 235 on 19s and i dont rub on the front at all

 

No camera sorry but trust me it looks good. and wider tires = ftw

 

I have problems with my rear tires rubbing.... when i have people in the back... im looking to see about getting my fenders rolled to see if that can stop it

 

dont put people in the back lol

 

Same here, 235/40/18 KDWs for 20K miles without any problems.

 

yea well sometimes i do... so I would like to prevent the rubbing if possible... only other thing I could do is wait till my konis are broken in and then turn the struts up in the rear

 

Can you post a photo of your 235's on the stock wheel? I am been searching for a photo of how these look! I'll be your best friend..

 

I don't have them anymore, and the only pics I had were on my old computer and are now gone, so sorry I can't.

They did look great though, nice and beefy without looking too big. I always got compliments on the tires when I had those
