I'm running 18x8 with Eibach and Konis with 265/45/18 in the back and 245/40/18 in the front and I'm not touching. I have some big tires but i love the way my car sits and looks.

More for height reference, eibech & koni yellow combo on 17's.
I believe my car sits lower than some others.

These are some nice pics of cars with eibach spring set ups. Anyone still using the factory TEMS system with the springs and upgraded struts? I can't decide if I want a spring/strut combo or just get coilovers.

how are the ride which the eibachs? im currently deciding between eibachs and b+g springs, i heard the b+g springs drops lower and similar spring rates to the eibachs but not stiff enought to compensate the added drop and many ppl rubb. Does anybody rub with the eibach and 18's? Just plan on doing some canyon carving thats all.

It's Not Important Bro
Running
Front 18 X8.5 35 Offset / 235 40 18
Rear 18 X935 43 Offset / 265 35 18

Eiback & Tokico Illumina II's installed last week.

No rubs or issues. I think the stance looks awesome. The ride gives more feedback vs stock but is perfect in my opinion. Less body roll in cornering too.

The ride is stiffer than stock. Probably the best springs for a daily and every now and then, canyon run. The Fronts with my eibach/tokico blue setup rubbed, but the rears clear fine. But I guess it's because I run 275's up front :naughty:

I have the SportMax 006. 18x9.5 +35, 275/35 all around.
Black lip? are you getting them painted? because those wheels don't come with a black lip.

granted the last link is the wrong bolt pattern but its 1:30am and im tired of looking for it, yes its rare and hard to find and i stumble on it by accident but i had the website that had them for sale as well as the ebay store that had them for sell in our bolt pattern. Its somewhere in the house but just letting u kno the black on black lip does exist.

Running 17'Azev wheels on Eibach pro kit with Tokico Illumina II :biglaugh:
Rear rim is 10' (ET32) wide with 255-40/17' and front is 8.5' (ET32) wide
with 235-45/17' Dunlop SP 9000 sport tires
I do have a small rub on the front wheels when I go through bumpy roads
on high speed cruising.If I was keeping this setup I would have gone with
a smaller allaround tire like 225 or a smaller profile like 40 instead of 45....

But soon I am going with the same kind of rims Azev type A...but on 18's :sarcasm: The new rims will be painted...something like gunmetal colour
or something grey with black metal....will see! And the deep dish will get
polished!
Wider tires will be on the new 18' rims....
