    Hello, I’m thinking of getting some Eibach lowering springs (I believe they lower the front and rear between 25mm-30mm) for my ND. I currently have 215/45/R17 tyres and was wondering if I will experience any sort o complications such as rubbing. I should also mention i have aftermarket rims which are the bola CSRs which have an offset of 4 x 35. Thank you all.

I dont get any rubbing with 215/45 on 7" et40 rims on lowered suspension. Sounds like you are on wider rims which may rub and your only course of action if that is the case would be to reduce caster

Yeah potentially as I am running on 17x8s as opposed to the original 17x7s. Do you have any idea if it’s still viable? Thank you if not.

You may get some rubbing on full lock, but i think youll get away with it.
