18" BBS LM question: How low can you go? Meaning how much of a drop is ok before it rubs?

I know the whole offset problem but I'm going to get coilovers to help "dial in" the proper ride height. What is the maximum drop possible with the 18" 30mm et LM? Is it an inch? More? Less? BTW, I'd like to get 235 tires.

Quattrosaurus are you out there?

Thanks for the help.

probably less than an inch or right around there....

they have an ET of 30, which pushes them out a good amount, and with 235s...you might rub for sure....
