18x8" Rims W/ 40mm Offset, How Much Can I Drop It?

[toicy4ya]

Sup guys,

I know this issue has been address several times however I fail to find any responses for that particular question with that wheel size on a Spyder. I currently own a 99 GS Spyder and purchased a set of 18x8" rims with a 40mm offset, the tire size is 225/40/18. My question is simple, how much can I drop it before it starts to rub?

I wanted to get eibach springs but noticed that Eibach has a specific model spring for the 96-99 spyders which drop's it 1.6" which is a lil more than what I originally wanted.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

anyone?

Drop it as low as you want. I had 18x8 wheels with a +40 offset and I had it dropped on Eibach Sportline springs and KYB shocks. I couldn't even fit my foot under the front bumper.

did it rub at all?

I dropped mine with Tein all the way and I would rub in the front with my stock GSX rims. I raised it a little bit and have no problems. So I am assuming your going to rub if you do not have adjustable.

What's all the way? How many inches?
