I do like it lowered but I also notice what you are saying. Wonder if that is just Timbos car or if others look the same way. Also wonder if it will be detrimental in any way.

Yes Jay, photo taken just a few moments ago in an alternate dimension.

Just a thought.

oddly enough, I scrape less now than I did before the lowering. I attribute that to the differential lowering (1.5" rear vs 1.25" front). The car doesn't point down as much as it used to (and sits more level). Maybe I'm just more observant of the roadway topography now.

After reading this thread, as well as all the other wheel spacer threads, does anyone have all the specs for the FType so I can order so custom spacers? All the spacer threads seem to require grinding down the studs, or have some minor issue with the spacers...
What dimensions are required to NOT need any grinding of the studs, what is the proper hub bore, and what are the specs on the factory studs?

It also probably depends upon which wheel you have. We know the problem exists for 20" Gyrodynes and 20" Tornadoes, but I haven't seen any experiences posted for other OEM wheels.

The problem is you'd have to go with wider spacers than 15mm to avoid the need to grind down the OEM studs. However, 15mm is about the max width one can go (with the OEM F-Type wheel offsets) before you start showing tire outside the fender lips. The studs are about 1-2mm too long to work with OEM wheel offsets and 15 mm spacers. Thinner spacers would be worse.
