Need To Know PLEASE...

I have 18" Kazera KZ-B's with 215/35/18 size tires that are going on my MCS in a couple days. Will they work with the H and R springs? I'm not exactly sure about fitment and I've looked around on the forums before asking, but have not been able to find a concrete answer. Thanks in advance!

Since the rolling diameter of those tires are actually smaller than the stock ones, you shouldn't have a problem. I plan on purchasing 18" wheels on 215/40/18 tires with H&R springs and have been assured that there won't be any issues with rubbing or the like.

I just installed a set of H & R's and a 22mm Alta sway bar on a set of 18/215/35's and have no rubbing issues. Speed bumps and really pot-holed roads are another story. I would love to meet the SOB that invented speed bumps.

I don't have a problem with making traffic slow down, but I shouldn't be punished for going over one @ 5mph!

You think you hate speed bumps now....you should try driving around in a really lowered MINI, it can be rough :impatient
