Lol I'm trying to stay away from the BFH mod lol where is it rubbing inside fender well or on top of fender well? do you think you need bigger spacers? Is your car lowered? My main concern is if my 1.35 inch lowering spring would lower it to much since ill be going from 16 inch rims to 17s in front and 18 in back

I think it rubs on the inside fender well, and it only happens when i corner really hard and fast. And yeah my car is lowered. Im running Eibachs in the front and vogtlands in the rear. I'm pretty much as low as I wanna be, I already have ground clearance issues sometimes with my tunnel mounted tq arm.

good looking car socom how low did you drop the car? and like greg asked what size of tires you running? I ordered just the stock size that came on the corvette i think it was something like 275/40r18 and 245/45r17 that sounds right but not 100% sure. I still need to hunt down some rim center caps i found a set of 4 for a 100 bucks but havent ordered them id prefer to find some used ones but havent had any luck

I believe it was an 1.5" drop. But im running stock width for now, except the fronts are 245/35zr17. And if you dont wanna buy vette center caps I found out that center caps from the 5 spoke camaro wheels work too.
