Yeah 265 firehawks on H&R. Is like ~0.8 drop, like Eibach pro-kit as @boosted180sx mentioned. Swifts are like 1-1.25 eh?
yeah swift advertises 1" but i think they are slightly lower than that.

your tire is also helping too to avoid rubbing. a 265 indy 500 is probably the same width as like a 245 on a tire that runs wide like a052s or rt660s.

whenever you are ready, it can be easily done if you are willing to drive a little since you are in socal! the guy who did mine is in socal and he did an amazing job. Cant even tell anything has been done.


H&R is same drop as the eibach pro kits iirc. i also do believe you will 100% rub on a 275 with 38 offset. i guess it can depend on…
Hell yes! I’ll DM you. I’m definitely down.

That’s my current set up. I’m rubbing a little with a full car on speed bumps in the rear. Front doesn’t rub much if at all from what I can tell.

I'm also running a similar setup. H&R springs, TE37 44mm, 265-35-18 Indy 500's but want to switch to Pilot Sport 4S Tires, same size. Do you think there would be any rubbing issues? Any idea if PS4S's are that much wider than the Firestones? Thanks!

Thought about that for my next set but not sure which brands run wide either, so I just stuck with Indys

Installed eibach pro kit yesterday & I’m just barely rubbing the front fender tab. The rears are fine though. Wheel spec 18x9.5 +45 & tires are Indy 500 275/35. Waiting for springs to settle b4 I do an alignment. If it corrects the issue cool..if not I’ll just bend the tab.

when you guys are bending the tab out of the way are you just leaving the screw that's in it out and the tab is fully bent out of the way?

So it is safe to say with 275 tires, rear will need to be shaved.
