With the stock rubber my car didn't rub at all with the same drop.
When I put wider wheels on it rubs a little but not anything serious.

mikenacarato · 11-25-2008, 08:46 PM

what size did you put on? im hoping to run a 205/50/15.

the color reminds me of Jesse James' Viper
(pic unavailable apparently)

or the Honda Element SC

both have gunmetal/black wheels though so im interested to see how white would look...

either way looks good man

Plus, if anything happens and you're really concerned, shouldn't take more than an hour or two to return the springs back to stock before bringing the car in for warranty work.

Gotta say, like pretty much all the other guys, I love that color. You also shouldn't have to worry about rubbing. Lowered mine the same on my stock alloys and the tires haven't rubbed yet. Although my undercarriage has rubbed a few massive speedbumps

205/50/15 only rub on extreme dips.

mikenacarato · 11-27-2008, 02:23 AM

awesome. what about 215/40/16?

I in all my years have ever seen a dealership cover any part of the suspension,brakes,or tires........all are wearable items and no one will warrenty them.
It is hard enough to get them to do warrenty work on things like motor and tranny.

Also powersteering pumps,alternators,mastercylinders,radiators are all wearable items too and you will never get warrenty work out of them either.

Mod your car,use quality parts,do the install properly and you will be fine.

the alternator died on my moms car a while back, she took it to chevy with almost 100k on the odometer, they repalced it free, along with the battery. :)
