Wheel Clearence and Lowering
I was wondering if anyone knew if 19/20" Cray Scorpions will clear Z06 brakes. The offsets are 50F 65R.
Also, I'm considering cutting the bushings on my lowering bolts to get a little bit more drop. I would like the fender height to be almost even with the top of the tire.
Here is the current stance with the factory bolts maxed out.
Do the factory camber eccentric bolts offer enough adjustment to accommodate the extra drop? I'm trying to avoid camber issues.

I love the wheels they look awesome! Is that 19x9 up front with 50 offset and 20x10.5 out back with 65 offset? Any clearance issues? are the back wheels still inside the fender?

A member of another board Pshop'ed my pic to give me an idea what it would look like lowered more.

Thanks...yes they are 19x9 and 20x10.5. The fitment is great. They are pushed out more than the stock wheels but have the necessary clearance for the fenders. This is one of the reasons I'm considering lowering it more.

How long have you had it lowered? Reason being I've had mine lowered now for about six months and it adjusted twice in height meaning a day or two after the lowering it i.e. the car got even lower and now six months later it is even lower.
My point is if you just got it lowered then wait. Also in regards to drive ways yes take that into consideration. By the way your car looks great!
Hope this helps.

I'm probably going to cut the bushing this weekend and see how much that helps.
Thanks for the input!
