Default How low I can go with 305 tire?

I have 305/30/19 tires on 19/10.5+22 rims in back,and my fenders are already rolled.


Can someone move this to brake and suspension fourms

Since you already have the tires and wheels why don't you mount them and then start lowering the car to see how far you can go? Otherwise bist out the old measuring tape.

Agree. I have yet to figure out why members ask such questions. You have the wheels-tires. You have the car. Not me.

As you lower it the static camber will increase. 305s on a 10.5+22 - with fenders rolled - should be fine at any height (within reason).

no one knows what tire you have (size is of little consequence)
no one knows your current alignment specs

as such, no one knows the answer to your question

plan on it rubbing at ANY height...if it doesn't, you lucked out, if it does, it was expected from the get go

I'm totally with you on these statements (that you make here and in other threads), as most people are simply guessing before all the information is given.

I was simply speaking by experience with (large) 305 PS2 tires. The 305/30 is a relatively short tire, and with the additional clearance (~8mm) from the fender rolling, he should be ok, or darn close to it given the alignment unknown.

It depends primarily on wheel size and offset, followed by how wide that particular 305 is and your current camber. We can't begin to guess without at least the first two bits of information.
