Does this have to be on my truck?
Because I have two sets of Saleen wheels for my



"Saleen Mustang"

Sorry man but I just re looked at your question. I have the 44mm in the front and the 30mm on the back which won't help you.

The 44s will not change the tire to fender measurement, only where the tire/wheel ends in relation to the fender edge. The 30s will stick out, the 44s won't, so you can still give him the measurement he's looking for.

This I know but was a lil confused as to his question b/c he wanted the measurements from someone with a 2" drop.

I'm assuming your talking about from the top of the tire straight up to the fender?

yes mine is 4wd and with my 23x10s, 30mm offset and 305 40 23s i have 6" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender lip. i have 3" belltech lowering springs and want to use them but do NOT want to hit the fender. i can buy 1" spacers for the springs for like 40 bucks. if someone with my same setup has done it i cant find it anywhere. and if i end up the guinea pig and have to raise it back up an inch and have it aligned again that will be a waste of money. im tryin to do my homework so i can do it once and achieve as much drop as possible with no side effects.


see what i mean, needs to go down

yes my 08 4wd with 23x20s, 30mm offset and 305 40 23s measures 6" from the top of the tire to the fender lip. i have a set of 3" beltech lowering springs i want to use however do not want to be the ginea pig. to realize i need to go back up will be a waste of money. i can get 1" spacers for the springs but want the full 3 if i can go that low with so side effects. ive looked all over and cant find anyone with the same setup.

Worm,

Are you trying to go 3" drop in the front? If so, you'll most likely rub on occasion. I believe my FX2 has/had the same stance as a 4wd and I rub with 3" drop up front, and the alignment is another issue!

P.S. When I get back to my room, I'll post the UGLY pics of my truck with Saleen wheels before it was lowered.
