If this has been brought up before just post links so it isn't wasting anyones time on a repeated subject. I have a 92 LX Hatch that I plan on lowering, thinking Eibach Pro kit. I also am going to get 245/50's put on the existing pony wheels. The questions are will there be any rubbing issues and will I need to add Caster Cambers. Anyone have a similar setup? Pics? Thanks.

I know they'll be fine in the back but i'm kinda curious about the fronts myself as i'm looking to buy the same tires, only maybe 255s or 245/55s in the back.

I have 235/45/17 on the front and 245's in the back with the pro kit and no rubbing issues, except slightly in the front =\ could have something to do with the 17x9 rim

Yeah I had a little bit too in the front with that setup on a 90 notch I used to have. I'm hoping with the 16" wheels it won't though. We'll see.

with 245/50's in the front you might just barely make it!

I have a '92 LX hatch with pony wheels (not after this weekend though, 99 cobra's going on) using the Pro-kit.
I used 245/50/16 in the rear at one time, but opted to stay with the 225's up front to reduce any rubbing issues. You should be fine to run 245's all the way around. Might rub a bit at full lock. Just keep your eye on what the tire is rubbing on.
