I'm wondering how all those cars out there have their wheels tucked like a mofo and do not rub.
heres some pics of the rims i got on my car and you can see the ride height iim at in terms of wheel gap. Some cars i see are wayyy tucked and i don't understand how they don't rub or how they can even turn. I've tried lowering my car lower than that but any lower than that i will rub when going up driveways or turning on bumps.
i want to lower my car lower but cant seem to because of this, i've rolled my fenders as much as i can and now i'm just curious how other cars do it.

Most people with ridiculous drops would have air-bag/hydraulic suspension or maybe they just slam the rear heaps whilst keeping the front at a reasonable height (at least enough to turn the wheels to full lock)... Super hard damper settings too.
To be honest, I'm surprised your front bumper is still in one piece, even at that height... Brake hard enough at speed & the nose would drop enough to touch the road, I'm sure. I bet that thing litterally cut the grass the day you took those pics.

lol yeah that body kit is really really low. i know you drive it right goint at everythin slanted. if i didnt have bags. i probably wouldnt have that bumper.
its so much nicer to have fast bags to adjust anytime you see a bump, pothole, etc. and when its slammed......you already know
also when i have absolutely no air in my bags. i can still drive and turn. cant go over any bumps or anything but you can drive. i slam it on the highway all the time.
