buntz 0 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 hi i've just got myself a highline with 17" rims on 40 profile toyo's if i give it some round the twisties it rubs hideously, i also have the original 15"s but they have the same rolling radius, currently running gt cupline suspension , my question is if i go for sporty shocks with a 30mm drop will i still have clearance probs or should i go back to a standard ride height. i will mainly be a "spirited" road driver with maybe the odd trackday. also where might i buy some new shocks? there's so many options i'm a bit overwhelmed, konis?cheers buntzapparently it has a 60mm dropt'is flippin low Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 nope never had an issue with 15s and a 30mm drop.. Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 iTs not the rolling radius as to why they rub usually its the offset. What wheels are they? Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 17's with standard shocks or a 30mm drop will look rubbish so I'd either put your 15s back on as they're only 6.5"so won't rub or get your front arches rolled and keep the 17s Link to post Share on other sites
djmorgz 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 also what width are the tyres as ive had audi alloy srhat cane with 215 40 17s and replaced them with 205 40s with a 40mm drop and got fed up with the ride so gone back to 15s and now droped 80mm bit low as ive just cracked my 3rd splitter so gna go back to a 60mm drop Link to post Share on other sites
Rustyman 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Fat mates lol.... No it's the 12inch eclosure and gubbings built into the boot that makes it's arse rub.. Or is that a vindaloo on a sat night ? Not sure what the yoko's width and size is will check ... Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 what offest are they? I have ET35 17x7.5J and dont get rubbing on the side of the arch, only when the wheel actually touches the top of the arch 5 up Link to post Share on other sites
