offtopic, how much more can you lower with the Pro-C in these pictures on the 15's?

I'm sure I could drop another 1/2 inch or a little more front & rear. Not sure if it'll rub though. I've got -2.5 camber on the front w/ camber bolts so it helps avoid some rubbing. The current height is so I don't scrape my driveway everytime I go home.

I never tried the max drop but u could probably go even lower.

The v41 offset works without modding the fenders and has as much performance as the 35. Most have to use narrower tires with the 35 so looks aren't diiferent enough to tell at 10 yards. Performance may be better with 41's and wider tread on lightweight tires.

Agree with Kenchan except an option would be go +41 all around and use 5MM spacers on the rear (5MM are usually cheap) Keep in mind your stock wheels are +55 so 41's push your tires out about 5/8ths of an inch.

35mm wont stick out!!! and it wont rub, if you put a 41mm and 5mm spacers you will have less thread in your lug studd... and it will almose the same thing ...

Ive ran +26mm... The tires are just inside the fenders and rear 1/4's. Yes it rubs a lot.
+35mm wont stick out at all.
It may rub a little, nothing the fender lining mod wont fix.

Heres Jeromes car.

that's actually not a bad idea, looks almost the same but you can still rotate your tires... i may look into this haha

I beg to differ.. You might not rub going in a straight line but once you start cornering you'll rub guaranteed. I'm running +41mm and I rubbed a lot. 195 series tires too. Those that say you won't rub either must not be lowered at all or never have to turn.

I rubbed a lot in the front and never in the back when I was lowered on TEIN S-Techs (1.8" drop)... but then I swapped those springs out for the J's Racing/Showa suspension (1.0" drop) and i rub a little in the back with passengers.

i do cornering too, and i have 195/50/15 and still no rub ... and im sure my car is lower than 1.8 drop, on lowering springs.

well that's a bit of a discrepancy then isn't it?!? lol.. perhaps the 50 series over the 55 series makes a difference as that is the only thing that I can see that would prevent rubbing.

So you are saying that +35mm w/50 series won't rub. But if you go 55 series with +41 you will since that is what I have.

it rubs but is not a big deal, is like Ray says. only rub the fender liners... and i dont have my fenders roll. and if it rubs is when you take bump or somthing, but i been taking pretty big bumps and still no rub lol...

I'm running 15" Black Rpf1's w/ 41 offset with 195/55 Direzza Z1 Star Specs.. and I rub alittle in the front, but once the fender clips fell off, no more rubbing.. And I do Auto-X.

I'm using Tanabe's GF-210 but soon to go Skunk2 Coilovers and camber bolts. And I want to use 205/50 in the front.. well see what happens there
