that's awfully close... closer than my gap and your wheels are more flushed to the fenders than mine... I guess if someone okays your setup then I'll know mine will be okay. nice wheels btw

I have not... they're sitting in my closet right now. I'm trying to get more opinions before doing so.

On either application, the wheels are going to tilt in at the top when you lower it. (Decreasing the potential from scrubbing when lowered.) The lower it goes, the more "tilting" (increased negative camber) you will get.

If the camber is excessive, you may need a camber correction kit but that's not nearly an issue as misaligned toe is. (Wheels not pointing straight ahead.)

(Thinking about your golf outing...that sounds like me, my Q45 was 317hp/337tq V8 (Jim Wolf ECU, TCU, 100 shot n2o) room for five, rear wheel drive and a Soprano's sized trunk for 5 sets of clubs. I miss that car.)

Just got back from the shop, with my 42 offset wheels, had car put on lift and lowered onto a cinder block to test... the rear camber is really excessive and probably will need a camber kit, thus, causing it to rub. Front looks okay though. FYI - this is for the tein s techs

mine is the same thing as well, lowering the front with eibach will be ok but the rear will definitely rub. i cant roll the fenders coz its a lease. im still contemplating on just putting the front springs but i know it has some consequences on performance.

since im not that in to racing anymore, you guys think ill be able to live with just the front lower to level the wheel gap with the rear?
