Default 315's and lowering T/A

greetings! - gettin ready to put the 315's on my car with the American TT2's 17x11 rear, with the 315/35/17's and... I have a question.... hopefully I am not rehashing something that's already been discussed...

but, can I lower the car any after this change??? I'd like it to be as low as possible, and have the staggered look with the 315's. or will the size prevent it from being lowered.

thanks in advance for any help!

u shouldnt have any problems with your car lowered on 315's. but i think its more of a matter of which 315 brand tire u go. ive pm a few guys with nitto 315 and had no fitment or rubbing issues at all. but if u go with BFG, or sumitomos or M/T then youll run into some issues.

Exactly, 315 nitto's are only a little bigger than a summitomo 275.

see my sig... I have no problem w/ rubbing after Roller, BFH and adj. panhard bar. Running sumitomos. I did just install rear air bags w/ 5lbs. of air and it rides so much better but that was b/c of my rear springs suck.
