can i lower my car?

[monterey]

i messed up and got 19x10 wirh 20 offset on 275/30/19. they poke out of my fender by about 1/2". can i still lower my car or am i going to be in trouble.

Squared? If it’s squared I think the front will be a challenge rear should be fine.

is it worth banging out your rear fenders? they are attached to the car permanently you know. that is some expensive body work if you hotrod the car over some railroad tracks or something.

i have my rears on 12mm spacers and they barely scrape. i think 10mm would be perfect but its my fronts im concerned about. turners talked me out of lowering my car unless i can do -3 camber but he said it would look ridiculous.

[roastbeef]

aah, for some reason, i thought you were talking about the rears.

Sell the front wheels and get the correct offset or run stancenation yo.

I'm on 275/30 tires and 19x10 et25 up front and that was uncomfortable at oem height. I lowered abou3/4" and went -2 deg camber to eliminate the risk of hitting the fenders on full compression.

Wheel calculators say your wheels poke out 2.4mm more than mine. You should be able to lower your car, just depends on how much time and effort you want to put into it so it doesn't rub.

For my experience reasons, I never lower cars anymore, it just asking for trouble, bad resale to say the least.
but this is the M forum it would not be fun if you dont

If you buy camber plates you will have no issues. I run the same setup and have no problems.
