Will my wheels and tires fit after I fix my suspension?

[Kheimbach]

So I bought a 99 gs and the back tires have negative camber (leaning in at the top) and I just bought washers and bolts to fix this. What my dad just brought to my attention is my car is lowered 2" and is sitting on 18" fallen rims. So he said that if I straighten the tires out that the tires will hit the fender. Does anybody have any input or past experience with this?

A general statement that you need brake upgrades just because you have 18in rims absolutely incorrect.

Meh...matter of opinion. More rotating mass, you should have more brake, regardless of circumference. Regardless, you increase circumference, you should add brake, for a number of reasons, none of which are the topic of this thread.

You can buy 17s & occur the same exact issues with additional stress to you cars suspension & brakes.

*incur, not occur. And I agree, assuming you are increasing the weight of the wheel.

Yes...heavier 17s in that example....


So you are telling me that if I have a set of lighter 18s then a set of 17s.....the overall width & diameter to include the tires are equal that I will have issues simply because I have 18s?

I don't understand the question.

I am guessing you're asking if I think just because you put 18's on, you will automatically have issues. My answer is no, you will not have "issues", but all other things constant, your braking distance will increase.

If you have 2 wheels that have the same overall outer diameter that includes the tires & width & they have different overall weight. Will they both have the same stopping difference?
