Controll Arm??

Flyguyin23 · 04-14-2019, 05:31 PM

I'm running an aggressive setup with 9 wide in the front and 10.5 in the back. today while looking at my wheels I noticed my upper control arm is close to my tire. I'm running a +20 in the front so the offset is low to be out of the way as much as possible. If I drop the car am I going to run into rubbing issues with the front control arms?

Thanks for your help!

I'm running 21x11 38mm rears with 295's with plenty of clearance from any suspension components. For the fronts 21x9.5 30mm with 255's with no issues. Sounds like your offsets for the fronts could be an issue. Can you take a picture?

EDIT: wait, I remember your car now. Front looked fine. Maybe a tad poke but you should be fine me thinks?

on second thought you're running a wider set than me in the front with your 9.5 and your 255/30/21 and you're on coils so I should be fine. ill snap a quick picture to show you what I'm talking about though.

compared to your set I have a teeny tiny bit more pole than you
