There would be about 1.5 inches gap.
I have my car lowered about 3 inches and there
is virtually no gap.

First of all......


What is the tire/rime size?

Make/model/year of car?

Then you might get a better answer.

Hey, which Tokico set are you talking about... the coilovers? They are good, but there are far better values out there for the money. How much are you looking to spend?
