Anyone lowered on 235/45/17?
Just got a brand new set of 235/45 tires. Mounted on 17x7.5" wheels +45mm offset. I plan on doing a subtle drop on h techs. Will I have any clearance issues with this tire. It does look close to the bottom strut damper but I think it could clear. I don't wanna have to switch to 225/45 or 235/40 Opinions?

With the offset like that you might not rub..... It will be a close thing. You might have to roll the lips but that's about it......

Tires are on the larger side for that wheel. You might rub on the fender liners depending on how low you are. I ran a set up similar to this one a couple of years ago.

I don't know how accurate or relevant this is but I measured from the top of the tire to the fender lip and to the fender liner. It shows I have 2 1/4" clearance and I'm dropping 1.4"
