Is this too much gap for 24.5x8x13's?

[G3-TEG]

Hey guys wondering if I can go lower than this with these slicks:






Right now theres about a 2"gap (3 fingers) up front and the rear has about 4 fingers.

Is that being way to safe? I don't want to damage the JDM fenders but I would like to lower the front at least another inch for aerodynamic purposes (?)

Thoughts? Thanks

Thats no stinkin type R, take those stickers off,, J/k,

That looks good, you never know what you will pick up on a track with slicks, It would suck for something to happen to that beautiful front end, I say leave it the way it is, your not going to be going fast enough to worry about a inch or so in the front.......

Good Luck.....

Ya i'm mostly worried about hitting a bump or something and not having enough suspension travel, or from the slicks expanding during the run. I'm hitting 13.1@115mph on street tires, so not sure how much those M/T's will expand if any.

If you are worried about going lower leave it there...but if you look at most of the pro cars(Kubo,Jotech,etc)they are running around what looks to be an inch....just pick up Turbo magazine and compare your setup to theirs

It aint no show car! I'd leave it where it is and not sweat it so much. You'll need the travel and turning radius driving through the pits and slamming on the brakes after the run.

dang, how much pressure do you have in those...

also, did you remeber to take off the plastic fender lining? or are you running with it on?

g3-teg,

How did you run on those slicks? Any difference in 60ft or mph. Let me know.
By the way, that car looks beutiful.

Are those Mugen RNR's I see in the rear. Man let me say it again, that car looks great.

It looks like you still have room to lower it up a bit. With my car, I went down to 2 finger gaps and all the way up in the rear.
Again, you have to find the best combination for yourself. Too high, you spin the slicks, too low you break axels. That's just my opinion. You have to find a median.

Pressure in the tires at photo time was around 20psi (going throught tech). I always fill them up pretty high before i get to the track so I can lower it accordingly once i'm there.

As for the lining, its still there. What would be the advantage of taking them off? The slicks would hit the fender if anything if they did expand that much.
