question about lowering, ordered springs...

[djomlas]

i ordered eibach springs for my car.

right now i have 18x10 rear with 275/40/18 tires, and 18x8.5 front with 225/40/18 tires.

i only have spacers on the rear, but they are just 5/16 thick.

when these springs are installed, will i need to get the rear fenders rolled at all or not.

thx in advance

here is a picture of the rear wheel

What is the offset on the rear wheels?

[djomlas]

to be honest i am not sure.

[jmatta]

I'm running the same size on the rear of my '02 S without issue. My car has H&R sport springs which lowered it almost 1.5". My wheels have an offset of 47mm. Please note, however, I run 2.5 degrees of negative camber in the rear which pushes the tops of the wheels inward. If you lower your car, the suspension adjustability is limited, so you will result in more negative camber than you already have.

I believe offset 48mm-F/58mm-R. Im thinking your 5/16 spercers r too thick?

What kind of spacers are they? ,8mm,hub centric? I'm just asking cuz I thought u were using a set of 25mm(1 inch). I got the same wheels on my car,,,I'm also wondering, why didn't you run 265/35ZR/18's on the rear?

I talked to Frank from Eurotechwheel, he doesn't remember using a pair of spacers on the rear for a Boxster at all.

y am i not running 265 instead of 275? i actually want 285 :)

5/16th is veryyy small spacer, barely enough to move the wheel out a little not to hit the shocks

thx for the offer, but i bought the eibachs that gemballa offers, but i assume they are relatively close.

i sure hope that i wont have to roll the fenders or anything of that nature.

i may try and put some wight in the rear trunk and see how low it goes and if it touches anything

[djomlas]

anyways, stacked up some heavy stuff in the rear trunk to see when its lower if it will hit anything.

luckily, everything is fine.

here are some pic i took w cellphone

Who needs lowering springs when you can load 'er up with sandbags!

Looks good...

[juniinc]

LOL yeah if u want all that 300 extra lbs or get a fat G/F. I dont even carry my spare tire w/ me. Spacing looks good! what size tire r u running ?
