So I got a pair of coilovers (nex coilovers) that allows a drop range of 1.5"-2.5"

Ill be installing a set of forgestar f14's 18x10's (15 n 20 offset) with 40-35 or so tires, and I'm trying to get an idea on what the best drop would be.

I was thinking an inch to start off with, is that about right?

with that aggressive a wheel setup, you have to go lower than 1 inch.

Tire width is just a little bit important. Don't worry about it.

oh right. theyre 225 40's on the front 225 45's on the back

Not my cup o tea. Hopefully someone else can help you with the stretched tire setup. You'll have to go really low or it will look completely stupid imo.

Yeah, theyre just temporary (coming off my oem) till summer when I can buy some new tires..

lower it till you rub a lot, then lower it more.

UPDATE: Sooooo I put the coilovers on (took a full day) and put it as high up as I could make them go with still having tread, which turned out to make it a 2"-2.5" drop .... guess the specs lied a bit : /

The 225/40's wouldnt fit so I had to swap em with 245 40's and 45's. with the 2.5 inch drop, I had about a half inch clearence on the fenders, so needless to say It rubbed...

Forgot that I hadnt rolled the rear left fender yet, took it around the block once and the fenders did a number on the sidewall. Lets just say the rubber handled ring tightening tool for the coilovers made a great fender rolling tool......
