Hi everyone...I'm currently running on h&r springs and I'm thinking of changing my
Suspension. I have 19 by 8.5 in the front with +27 offset with 245/35/19 tires...there
Currently I have a 1 finger gap between the top of my tire to the bottom of the front
Fender and when I'm on a drive way they are both flush with no rubbing issues.
I want to lower my front to that point where there ia no finger gap just how it is when on
a drive way....currently front fenders have not been modified (roll/cut) I would like to know if you think it would rub if I lower it to the point where theres no fender/wheel gap and entering a driveway or if it were to compress. Is 245 to fatt of a tire to turn if its lowered to the point where theres not finger gap?

TIA for any help

i reckon you should be fine, though it depends on your camber setting.

i have 19x9 +27 with 235/35 and -2 camber. I am tucking the tread of the tyre on the front. When i first got the wheels on i had -1 camber and when turning up a driveway at full lock if i went a bit quick or had a passenger then it would rub a little bit. My guards are rolled quite flat. So i had camber increased to -2 and now it ok though the wheels are a bit sunken fitment wise.

If you have 8.5" +27 then you have 6mm less poke than me. Combined with the extra camber from lowering, say you run around -2 also, then i think you should be okay. The extra width of your tyres may be an issue though, so you may need to go to a 235/35. on a 9" its a mild stretch, so on an 8.5 it should be fine. But id just try it as you are now, you may get away okay
