1.5 drop conversion

[kylecm85]

i have searched but didnt find. Was wondering if i do the coil conversion with the 1.5 drop will i still be able to run my 20's they have a +38 offset with 245/35's on them. Right now it looks like it has enough room just want to make sure before i buy the kit.

I don't see why not... but I still don't understand 20's my opinion...

If your air suspension is working now, but leaking, sensor lower it and see if you get any rubs etc driving it around for a day or two...

mine works with a 35mm offset. and IMO i am extemely happy with 20's

I forget my specs, factory offset though. 40mm? But I have 20's and can slam it no problem with 8 inch wides.

thanks for the reply's i dont want to by the kit and have alot of rubbing. But i did some measuring and it should fit. Does anyone know how much the drop is at park height on the factory air ride.

It's a half inch.

I wouldn't think 3mm would make much difference on a 245 opposed to a nearly 12" 275 carrying 36mm o/s and a thicker swaybar to boot, especially at stock height. you telling me you're rubbing.. is 1) a lie 2) really f'n bad camber 3) a previously wrecked car ..

You should be able to slam the car and have absolutely no problem with a 245 unless you have a 27" or larger overall dia.

Your wheel diameter doesn't come into effect until you go larger than 25".

As long as you keep the factory overall diameter I can assure you there shouldn't be any virtical rubbing problems, and as long as you keep your tire width less than 11" on a 36 mm offset, so prob 10" on a 38, you should definately be ok with a small 1.5" drop.

i asked if it would rub. I don't rub with the 20's now and am not even close to even with it loaded. I was just wondering if anyone has had a problem with rubbing after the drop. But i do appreciate the input you gave it was helpful and is what i needed to know.
