I'm lowered 1.4" all around. I Just mounted the 17x10.5's and 17x7 on the front. Fronts fit great with the "roller skates" cut off and the rears. The rears rubbed the calipers pretty bad, so I've been grinding like crazy on the calipers. It still grinds on sharp left turns. I guess I'll have to take more off?

Could the alignment Camber and Toe have anything to do with the inconsistency in the fitment? Some grind for days, some they fit perfect, so it is either low QC from the "Machinist" or something else.
I would be curious......

When it comes to caliper clearance tge aligment wont do anything but for tge control arms its possible. Id rather align for good geometry and clearance where it needs it than align for clearance.

Will have to get the scratch ring from the bolt and caliper on the inner wheel repainted eventually. At least it's not really visible while mounted on the car. At least I bought them used so it's not a big deal to me anyway Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

I have the eibach pro kit (1.3 inch drop in the rear) and I picked up a set of race star recluse 17" wheels. Do you guys think I'll have any issues?

Im lowered 1" and just noticed last night that the drivers side rubs on the lca but it must be just under hard launches. Pass side is fine.

The ones that have the issues from what ive seen are the Racestar 92s (Darkstar style). I have not seen one issue on the Recluse yet i just got mine in the other day and havnt fit them yet due to car being built. But they are a brand new design so we will see as more orders are filled. I ordered mine in July and got em begining of September.
