1.5 inch drop with Focal F04's, question.

Wednesday, March 06, 2013 1:29 PM

First post here, so sorry if it's kind of stupid.

I have a 2000 base 2dr cav that currently has a 1.5 inch drop. Just bought some 18x8 Focal F04's. The tires will be 225/40/18 and I'm wondering if there is going to be any additional work to be done once i put the rims on? ex: trouble turning, rubbing fenders, etc...

What's your offest? That'll help you figure out what will fit and what won't as far as fenderwork.

I can't speak for certain, but that site has helped me with fitment. Make sure you have that much clearance all the way around from lock to lock, and you should be good.

You should be fine, just make sure you have a proper alignment and matching struts with those lowering springs
