need help with a drop

I just got ronjon legends in 18 inch with 245 tires and they do seem to stick out a little. So im afraid to drop it since im not really sure if im gonna have any problems with rubbing. Im not going for anything bigger then a 1" drop all around.

whats the best way i should do it ... maybe aspec suspens. or something like eibach springs and koni shocks or whatever you guys think its best and also something thats gonna ride nice too


thanx for your help

i got the rims directly from you last week. ( white tall guy - Davor) 18x8 in gunmetal. Just wanted to tell you that i love the wheels and will send pics soon.

You told me that i might have a problem rubbing with 245 tire so im just making sure what i can do since with the more comfortable ride as it is now im not gonna sacrifice it to much with a 1" drop all around...

I think the Eibach prokit springs drop an even 1" all the way around so it would look pretty good on some 18s. IMO, I would probably go about 1.4/1.5 all the way around.

A-Spec suspension gave me a .75 drop, I think its not low enough for when I had my 18s on. But then again, that's just me.

These are 18's with H&R sport springs. That's a 1.4"F/1.3"R drop and 225/45z/r18's. Honestly, I'm not happy with the drop since it looks like stock, so I'm getting some coilovers. As far as the ride quality, it rides great, just stiffer cause of the tires and RSB. I even kept the stock struts.

Konis and eibach, htech, or an aspec setup are all going to be pretty conservative. Also consider getting a rsb to prevent rubbing in corners.

What is the offset of the wheels?
