I have an 03 GT convertible. It has 17x9 chrome cobra r's with 275/40/17 tires all around. The rear wheel/tire combo lines up even with the rear fender. The fronts stick out a little bit. I have a few questions: If I lower the car 1.5 inches all around, do you think the front tires are more likely to hit the fender lip because they stick out a little? Has anyone had a similar combo? What about wheel spacers to bring the backs out so that they are even with the fronts? I was thinking about the eibach pro-kit. Any suggestions? Thanks

you wont have any problems & the only way to get the back to be flush would be the spacers (unless you get a 10+ n rim for the back ) i had this done on my 98gt with no problems & i just finished doing it to my 03 & no problems, except it didn't quite go the full 1 1/2 drop yet (i need to get different isolaters) just drop it & don't look back
