205/40/16..16x7..+40.. Which springs that DONT rub?
Just wanted to see who else has this setup and has a drop.

205/40/16
16x7
+40

those are my tire/rim specs

Who else has THese specs and has a drop. What springs are you running?

I would like to get th Eibach Pro-Kit or the Tanabe GF210... but im hesitate on the rubbing issues...I rather not lower it than to have it rub....

Thanks in advance

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you're still okay at 7"width ET 40.. when you go down to 38 or 35, then you might run into problems.

any lowering springs will do...the reason why the tires rub,bec the offset of the mags is wrong...that would be +45 not +38...try to use 16x7 0ffset +45,im sure there will be no rubbing issue...

I wish that were the case.. 16x7 +45 on T1R springs (205/45 tires) and I rub up front.. no rear issues yet though
