245's and sportlines

Those of you who are actually running 245's on a lowered car, how bad is the rubbing? I know there will be a minimal amount but I am throwing some NT05's or NT01's on the front of the car and wanted some 1st hand statements

Car is lowered on sportlines and running MSR045's if that makes a difference

How do you figure? If a car is 3" off the ground its 3" off the ground.....damper/spring style isnt gonna affect how it rubs tire on the body.

springs stick out further than coilovers. We are talking about rubbing on the springs not the body? Right?......

No..rubbing on body.

The front spring is above the tire, and the rear spring is inboard of the body edge, if your rubbing tire on spring in a Balt youre doing somethin wrong, LOL>
