Clearing Drum Brakes on LX

[dman909almaraz]

1.5 inch drop and just about an inch wider than my stock rims not too much

So I would have to buy the camber kit for the wider wheels?

Like Webby said depends how low and how wide...

I am lowered roughly 1.5 inches and run a 17x8 wheel and everything dealing with my camber and alignment is stock...

But like I said the lower and wider you go, the other problem is becoming a stancebro....

But same diameter

I went from 16x7 with a 205/55 tire to a 17x8 with a 225/45...

17×8.5? Too much?

Any pics of your rims and how they look on the ride?

17×8.5? Too much?

Should be ok, might need a little camber to make the tires fit since I believe a 225 tire is a bit of a stretch on a 8.5 wheel

Best photo I can find of my car.

17x8 or 8.5 shouldn't give you too much trouble at all with a 1.5" drop. Just be careful with the offset. The +xx that you see on the wheel sizes is the offset number. Stock is +45 and lots of people run in the +35 range. I think if you go lower than +35 you will start to run into issues. Try to keep it between +45 and +35 you should be good to go.
