need some advice!

I got 17 konig runaways but i haven't gotten the fit lowered yet. i was wondering how low i can go before i start rubbing. i wanted to go with 2 inch drop in the front and 1.8 in rear. would that cause a problem?

what's the wheel width and offset? that along with tire size will determine whether you rub or not. i tried to put some 17x7 +45 wheels on my Fit and rubbed hard on a 2.5 inch drop up front and 2 inch drop in the rear. it looked really good though LMAO

LOL. i think you would rub hardcore either way with a drop like that and 17" wheels. only if HFPs came in a 17". LOL

my rims are 17 -7-40 and my tires are 205 40 17
I was looking to get Eibach sport that would drop it at 2 in the front and 1.8 in the back, but i dont want any rubbing. or i can be safe and go with Eibach pro which would give me a 1.6 F and 1.3 R.

yeah i think you would rub for sure with the sportlines. Theres people on here that have sick drops with big wheels and have their fender linings all torn out. LOL. i think Tanabe GF210s would be the safest. But I'm thinking you'd still rub, just not as bad.
