Hey everyone. I've been kinda rinsing the suspension section recently :P

Just wondering how low i can go with 15x6.5 alloys with a +35 offset and 195/50 T1R's

may be a silly question but i just wanna know if i should be worried about rubbing and such. i've got D2 RS coileys that go down to 120mm. no more suspension mods (camber adjusters and LCA's)

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've dropped my coupe 90mm with no rubbing, which is really low as it is. also depends on what rubber your using

off topic i'm not too sure about how low you should go to achieve the best handling from your civic, but that also depends on sway bars etc etc.

you should be able to tuck the tire. You might want to roll and stretch the fenders a bit to make a bit more clearance and you will need negative camber to pull it off. with that offset you will stick out 16mm more than stock 15x6 +45 wheels.

+35 will be fine, mine are +32 and still clear the arch fine without it being rolled

Just have a play about till you find a height you like, no point having a slammed car you cant drive though :P
