lowering question

[l8vr14dsm95]

ok so i plan on lowering my car, but before i do let me just say that my wheels are 245/45 r18 these are about the biggest tire you can get for our cars. so my question is when i do lower my car will the tires rub agaist the knuckle with the extra camber or will it self adjust. thanks in advance

Thats your tire size, not your wheel specs.

Please post your wheel specs.

i am sorry kinda new to the suspension part of this but what do you mean by wheel specs?

More research needed.
IMO get a set of coilovers. You can adjust your ride height so if you DO rub, You can lift it back up.

Is there any chance that we can talk you out of those tires? Those are crazy-big for a DSM.

Mine are 235/45/17, and they look big. That car probably looks silly from the back.

yeah with those tires/rims you will mostly likely rub, probably more in the back unless you know how to tub fenders on a dsm . i would think if you went and lowered it anyway you will need camber kits. and it might not rub when your just parked in the drive way but when you go hit a dip then you will know.

yeah i am thinking about it especially when i start doing auto cross. the reason i am asking is because when i first got them i had some rubing for about a day or so. fyi the only reason i got them was because my friend work at town fair tire and he been giving me free tires for year
