Default How low can I go without rubbing. Pls help
I just got a set of Vossen cv5. But my car now looks like a 4x4... I really want to lower it, and of course I don't want any rubbing.
I'm thinking about getting a combo of F-sport shocks and springs too
Any feedbacks or advises will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Fronts are 20x9 et 32 (235/30/20)
Rears are 20x10.5 et45 (275/30/20)

What are the numbers on your setup? I'm on stock height and dont have any rubbing at all. Just the stance does bother me...

you really need to test and see there isnt an exact recipe when lowering your car but obviously if you slam it then you run into more issues
