How do i get that nice tire/rim tuck under the fender?
What kind of tuck could i get with say 1.5 eibach's and 17's
(can i get 1.5 inch drop eibach, all the ones i see are 1.3 or sumptin' like dat).

It wouldnt be a tuck itd be a sit with 1.5
 
inch drop and seventeens it sit reallllll nice too. You want room for turning radius and stuff but the stance would be perfect. Nothin too low and dramatic.

I have 18's and after putting on 2" drop springs it still sat high. After cutting them, its dropped about 4". Now it sits nice and still has plenty of room for manuevering.

I have a slight rub on the inside of my right front with my current setup (see signature for mods)..
that's only at full lock when I go over a bump..

if you lower it any more than 1.5", you risk rubbing at full-lock with anything wider than 7"..
of course that also depends on your offset. I dunno what the offset of my rims are though.

My rims are 18"x8 and I have no problems with rubbing. The tire size is 225/40/18. I know someone with 235's and he says they rub when he turns the wheel all the way. I'm not sure if his offset is different but my wheels sit really close to the strut. I think that they are perfect.
