The guys on here running the 195/50's, 145/65's or 135's could you guys tell me how much of a drop in the front you guys had to go?If possible could you supply pics showing how it looks?IM trying to figure out how low I'll need to go, running 22.3" tall tires on the front of my bug. 165/70/13's by the way. The rears I'm still not sure what to run but I'm sure I'll figure out something that looks good with 165/70/13's up front.

Thanks

225/60/15 rear 135/15 front
The front is on the 2nd to last notch I believe, adjust a strut.
It's actually a little too low I clip stuff with to adults in the car alot
and sometimes with just me.

With 145/65s

and where it was with the 135s

I had to raise it up a little bit when the 145/65s went on... it was scraping the lane markers off the road. It still hits the ground every once and a while as it sits now.

I actually like that stance, is your frontend narrowed at all? Im not really wanting to narrow my beam, just and adjustable beam an drop spindles.
How wide are your rear wheels?
And has anyone ever used those aluminum adjustable beams, are they safe for the street?
Thanks
