Wheel Problem!

Ok so i have alittle bit of road rash from my 19x9.5... Yes i know the wheels stick out alittle so its subject to this... I was wondering what all the hellaflush guys out there do to keep down the rash... I was thinking would it be reasonable to have someone "bra" the outer lip?????

Driving with caution is all that's needed.

Yeah, I don't think that can be prevented. It's just a part of "pay to play" type of deal. The only other advice that I have is to avoid areas of the road with debri and pebbles.

It all depends on what you use to lower your car. Obviously; you can can lower your car evenly front and back, or how ever you want. Lowering with springs will give you a pre-determined height depending on the sring specs. Or, you can do what I did and do lowering springs(H&R Race) and Koni SP3s and have the ability to get lower than Tein coilovers, or set your rideheight how ever you please with the adjustable perches.
