New to forums and need opinions on lowering kits

for my 2012 Boss 302


I will be using the 19 or 20 inch Boss 338 wheels 8.5 fronts and 10's in the rear


I used the Eibach sport lowering kit on my last car a 2008 Cali specials and I felt it was too low especially the front


Any help would be greatly appreciated


Thx

Those 338s won't clear the Brembos without a spacer. I don't know how much clearance is needed, but I can't see it being more than 1/4"...I've loved this wheels for forever too!

I've ran spacers on my cars without any issues. Grab a set from Maximum Motorsports. Did you try the wheels on, or just read it? I haven't seen them in person, but in pics I really can't imagine them needing more than 1/4" spacers. That's a pricey experiment though.

Just read it and called americaneagle wheels today and he said they would hit. But I see pics of Bosses with them on so im thinking the spacers may be the trick

I am leaning towards the steeda spyder staggered black machine lipped wheels in a 20. Or the black bullets. Still trying to decide on the tires

Going to do the ford racing lowering boss springs and the BMR panhard


I like both looks I just hope it looks that good on Boss Kona Blue lol
