I have 245/40/18 up front and 275/40/18 out back and I'm lowered an inch and a half with a pro kit. It only is bothered when I have more than myself in the car. I like the no rivet look as well. Heres my set:




18x8 in front 18x9 out back in a chrome finish dumdumdum

I installed SLP Bilstein dampers with my Eibach Pro kit. I run 315's on 17x10"
wheels centered with a BMR APHB. I had bit of outer wheel rub on until I installed the SLP jounce spacers. Much better now although the downside is a bit less suspension travel. I need to roll the fenders and remove the spacers...
