Thread: My car sitting on 17X9 Cobra Rs

Yes I know the car needs to be lowered!

looks good. a bigger picture would be great.

what size tires are you running? any rubbing issues?

Yeah bigger picture, it looks good though. Have them powder coated gun metal.

I'm thinking about a gloss black, and have no rubbing issues at all. The only thing is the car makes more road noise, and when slowing down in sounds like it has 44 inch mudders on it. IDK maybe I need an alignment, or maybe it's because the tires have kind of bad camber wear so maybe that's why. It could be also because of the offset they stick out more IDK any input would be helpful. I uploaded the pic to photobucket I can't find a way to make it bigger.

My car is the same way, same size tires. My car rubbed when I had someone in the back seat crusing around, but it wasn't bad at all.

I haven't had anyone in there yet so we will have to see. The offset is almost perfect for the rims if the only sat in a little more

those are the +24mm offset wheels right?

i had a set of those that i was going to run up until i started demodding my car.

I'm not sure the offset, but once it's lowered should look good it's flush with the rear fender and sticks out a little bit in the front

Thats how mine are, and I HATE it. I had my car lowered for 2 weeks, and it makes it look like it sticks out a lot farther.

Damn it what did you lower your car on?

I lowered it on $15 spring clamps, and I got some pictures on my facebook.

idk if you'll be able to see this or not

haha it worked when I clicked it tho.


here's about the only pic that looks decent.

oh and the pic in my sig too

lower it, roll the fenders, and youll be fine.

Dude that pic looks awesome. I'm guessing it's absolutely necessary to roll the fenders? I want to lower it but after read the write up seems like a little bit of a pain in the ass.

with that low of offset youre going to run into problems with the fenders. i dont even know if youd clear then when lowered if you roll them.
