Default Lowering question

Sorry if this repetitive,
I am new to this board, and I have searched to see if I could find this answer but had no luck. I was wondering about lowering my 88 crx. I am putting rota 16x7's with 205/40r16's. I have been told to drop it 2" and I have been told that is to far and I with be rubbing tires. I was wondering from you guys what a good drop would be. I found a Tokico kit that will drop it 1.5" i was wondering if any body in here has pics of a crx dropped 1.5" on 16's. so I can see if I want to invest in the setup. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Once again-it depends on the look you want and the wheels you plan to buy. The tires are not the issue as much as the tire offset, assuming you stay with a PLUS oversize tire that equals the stock one for width. Our 89 Si is dropped and has 14x6 +38 MR12s that DO rub under really high cornering loads. The ride height is 5" from ground to lowest point on rocker panel. Another thing-we did roll the rear fenders and that solved the issue. Tires are Azenis. If you correct Camber to factory spec there is a very good chance that you will either be very close to the edge (need to roll) or change the Offset of the wheel by buying one with a higher Offset number. I would think that 2" of drop and the correct wheel/tire combo will not present a serious issue for you-but that is not guaranteed.
