Weird test! Two big people bouncing on my trunk to c if my rims would rub?

Pr335bob · 05-06-2014, 08:48 PM

Im planning on going Billstein b12 kit or billstein hd with stock sport springs.

its attractive to lower the ride height but i was afraid it would rub with the rear tires. in the back i have 275 30 19 goodyear assymetric and 19x9.5 vmr vb3s.
on stock suspension its low already in the rear and i wanted to check if lowering the car more than stock would make the rear tires rub on the fender. I got 2 coworkers roughly weighing about 250 pounds each. They sat in the trunk and bounced, the rear fender did not touch the wheel, they bounced as far as getting the fender to cover half the tire. i dont believe it rubbed, didnt hear anything rubbing or scraping. but i can tell it was close. is this a test that would suffice as far as knowing the rear fenders wont rub tires with the b12 kit? what do you guys think?

You'll be fine...but I honestly am having a tough time understanding you....maybe go back over it rewrite it so it resembles the English language?

Sorry I'm in a rush I work a lot. I edited it, I hope its to your liking or at least you can understand it better.
You think I would be fine then?
Thank you for your response

I am running 285/30/18 with pretty much slammed suspension, custom wheels and no fender roll. No rubbing at all.
