Mild Slam

Plopper · 09-20-04, 03:35 AM

Is it possible to do a mild slam to +42 offset with 215/45/17 rims? Im thinking about just throwing some eibachs on their or maybe some H&R's but since the tires guys in this town dont even know what offset is im not trusting them.

I have +40 wheels lowered on eibachs and koni springs on stock perches, you'll be fine.

I would get shocks the same time you get springs if your shocks are old...

so i would need new shocks even if i did a mild slam?

You may be able to camber that out slightly, but honestly; it'll rub under hard turns unless you roll the fenders.

LegendaryAcs has +45 on Eibach springs w/ Konis probably set to low all around and he rubs a tad in the rear under hard turns w/ a passenger.

+45 seems to be perfectly flush. I'm +47 and that's close to flush w/o any rub. +42 will look nice, but you'll most likely end up rolling the fenders.

k.h.
