Which would be better for an eibach drop?

1) Rubbing (require shaving)
2) Road noise
3) Flush look

CV1s - Option 1
Front: +32 Hankook 245/35/20
Rear: +43 Hankook 285/30/20

CV1s - Option 2
Front: +20 Hankook 245/35/20
Rear: +25 Hankook 275/30/20

Well if u are willing to shave bracket u can run Falken or Toyo T1R 245/30 275/30 or General UHP 235/35 265/30 and be very flush. U can also go 245/275 w the +32/42 offsets and add 10mm spacers and sit at 22/32 that looks great. Reason for falken or toyos w 20/25 I's that they have very thin sidewalls and have been proven to work. Hankook 275/30 were very square on a +25 and were a no go. GL w your choice. Me personally will run Toyo T1R 245/275 on my +20/25

Hm.. but with a modest eibach drop would hankooks work on +20+25 set up?

I'd like to avoid problems associated with rubbing, shaving(aggressive offsets), vibrating(spacers) as much as possible, also more common offsets that are easier to re-sell would be nice

If i do go 32/42, I probably don't want to do spacers and deal with any vibration issues . I saw pics of 082s with 32/42 offset that looks pretty flush, unless the angle is deceiving .

You can use the 32/42 and run 245/285 but the rear +42 looks weak and way to tucked I'n . I dont think it's flush enough at all but to each there own.

I've seen Eibachs w 235/35 265/30 and looks great. 245/275 would also be perfect w the right tire size ! 20/25 are easy to re sell! Ive sold many sets )

If u want no issues go 32/42 but 20/25 would be better but choose the right tire w those if you want 275/30/20...

Btw 82s are 32/39 so yes it looks good as to why I say use 5mm spacers on front and rear and run 245/285 !!! That's great option also .

Falkens are cheaper at around $700 for 245/275!

Check out my shoot on first page w 82s then CV2s both +30 and 275/30/20 Toyo vs Hankooks ! Look at how close to the fender the Hankook looks on 82s and then look at how much room the Toyo still has.

I got 32/42 offsets and I like them. I wanted the more aggressive look so about a month ago I bought spacers and all brand new tires, stretched tires and swaped them out and decided i liked the other set up better. So make sure you see both its your opinion that matters.

Oh so you preferred the less aggressive set up? Any reasons why, is it caused of the stretched look?
