Thanks for the info.
Thinking about lowering my car by 2.5cm to 3cm.
Running 17x7 43 wheels + 205/45/17 tires
From your experience, do you think this setup going to rub? do I need camber kit?
Thanks

The rear won't rub, front wheels might. Safer to just try it out first before doing the camber bolt for the front

The wheel specs follow:
Front is 17x7.5 38 offset plus 5 mm spacer to clear brakes. Final offset is 34mm. Rubs on hard dips only. Tires are neuton nt 5000 they run narrower than a regular 205/40/17

Rear is strait 17x7.5 38 offset same tires 205/40/17

Hi, where did you source the lip? Very interested. And do you think the GK will fit 17x8.5 wheels? Planning on swapping my stock wheels with some ce28's but I'm worried about rubbing... thanks in advance!
