I have 19 with a 45mm offset and I was thinking about getting my car dropped with eibach and the guy at the shop said I shouldn't get it dropped because the tires will rub. Is this true?

 

How wide are the rims?

 

19x8.5 Evo 5 45mm

 

They should clear the fender lip with up to 245's.

They may rub on the inside during a full left/right turn.

 

yes it might rub when you make a full turn. the off-set on your wheel is to high. off-set on a 8.5" wheel should be 38 to 34.

there is only one way to find out and it's to try it out.

good luck & i hope you don't rub.

 

Looks like no springs for me anyone want to trade 45mm offset rims for 35. 45mm offset look fine in the back.

 

run a pair of 5mm spacer and extended studs from H&R

 

I don't think that's even necessary...
Dennis (MaxedBandit) has 45mm with his OZ's and he said that they are fine except for fully cranked positions. Probably at worst is the tire will rub one of the plastic inner fender/engine covers.

 

all you have to do is try it. find a lowered max near you and ask him if he could put the front 2 wheels on. take a short drive & make some u-turns.
