i want to drop it about 1.4 front and back but later on down the road i want to go to 18"s will i still have room to do this with out rubbing?

thanks for all the help!

 

What do 18" wheels have to do with rubbing? I ask because unless you're planning on significantly widening your tires and/or increasing the diameter of your tires, you'll have the same issues (or non-issues) with 18" wheels that you'll have with the factory wheels and tires.

 

Yeah i guess i didn't think about it that way bigger then stock wheel + smaller than stock tire = same over all diameter. But i would also like to add a 25 MM spacer too. Any opinion on the doings?

 

Springs not doings...lol
