Question

Mods, really know this should be in wheels etc, but could do with a quick response (then you can shift it,please! )

Anyone know if I'd be able to fit 19's under my classic's arches with a 35mm drop?? (Eibach) Without having any major inplications.

Any info would be ace.

Cheers.

Cheers for the reply's fella's but after being in touch with Scoty, think I'll just stick with 18" masterplan!
Thanks again!

Eibachs only actually drop about 25mm, in case you are working out exact measurements..
My eibachs should be through on weds and i'm on 18's will let you know how tight they are..

im runnin 18" wheels and fitted eibach springs! be warned they might not even drop your car AT ALL! which i soon found out with my 35mm lower springs! elite werent interested when i asked them about it! so asked around and you should be told when ordering them that they can lower your car between nothing and 35 mm!

Your right Claudius. That's why I've went for 18's so I can now get it sitting even lower!
