Has anybody had any trouble with wheel clearance after putting lower springs on their 850? I only want to drop it an inch, an inch and a half max, in order to drop the center of gravity and give her a tighter handle. Before I spend 250 on the springs though, I want to make sure my wheels wont strike the fender if I do anything except drive in a straight line. I have the stock 15 in rims on 190/60r15 tires. Thanks for any input.

God Bless

 

you may have a little rub lock to lock but other than that, no problem at all.

 

You'll be fine.

 

Once you lower the car, you have the stock wheel.. You will be fine. No issue...

 

For anybody else I you'll run into problems with the 205/XX/16 wheels. I not a mechanic or anything here, but they already rub in full turning so if i lowered them, I'd have possibly worst turning radius of any car. such as the C70 lol.

Volvo 850 17.4ft
Ferrari 360 17.7ft
Dodge avenger 18.3ft
Acura TL 18.4ft
C70 19.2ft

Ford 150 21.7ft

I'm down 1.4" and running 225/45/17 and have 15 mm spacers in the back and I dont rub.
