H&R Springs (Will They Rub With 17's?)

[o4aveohb]

on stock suspension my 45 series dont rub

So you're running stock suspension with 205/45 on 17's?

And they don't rub?!

My 205/40/R17's don't rub with the stock suspension, however the rear wheels are like |.........| that far away from the shock.... Extremely close...

1/2 inch or so? ooofffttt you cuttin it close.

yeah my 45's dont rub on stock suspension, they might barely touch when I run over a speed bump or such but I havent heard it, seen any damage, or anything.

even if they do rub a bit (which on mine it did, but then again it was the only one of four like it) i beleive you can get these insertes that you place inbetween your coils on your springs which would keep them from compressing as much. but thats ghetto and i dont recommend it, but it is a possibility. i forget what they are called, sorry.

and finally someone with car setup close to specs requested chimes in....they will rub, I have 17's with 40 series and there is slight rub on the the fender wells due to daily bumps in the road so logically 45's will rub, maybe not on perfectly flat conditions but anytime you hit any imperfection it will rub...ive worn off the undercoat and paint off in one spot....not only will they rub but theyll look rediculous and be alot bigger overall diameter wise than stock wheels, so the only reason you would need to lower is because you will be raising the car with the 45 series tire in the first place
