Hey everyone. I just bought some 17" Racing Hart type C2. I think they are 7" wide, maybe 8. I don't remember and don't pick them up till thursday. I tires are 215's.

Anyways. I want to drop my car. Would my car rub with a 2 inch drop? How low would it be, considering the wheel gap? How about the eibach pro kit set up? The sportline setup? The tein, etc.? I don't want it any lower than 2", but I want a killer stance with my wheels.

Please, if you could post pics and give me your view with wheels in my size as I want the best overall setup in my car.

I have a set of Motegi DPK's 18"x 8" rapped in 225/40's . I installed a set of Cosmo racing coilovers an dropped my ride 2" an have 1 1/2" between tire an fender. I love the stance but I havn't replaced the stock shocks so on main roads it rides nice but if I hit a dip my front bottoms out an the back tires scrub. I'm looking at a set of Koni shocks cause they are short an adjustable to correct this problem but they are expensive but that's just me. Here is a picture of what it looks like to give you a lil bit of an idea of stance.
