I haven't noticed any rubbing. The back is more of an issue because thw tires can rub on the rear fender if they are 2 wide. Stick with 235's and don't drop any lower than Eibach Sportlines do and you should be fine.

Thanks fellas. Im still torn between 235/40 18's slammed or going 19's. Ur info will help narrow it down. Ultimately whatevers best/ok for auto cross. I plan to participate sometime/somewhere, checking 4 d next event. I like the big wheel look but in the end I lean torwards performance(and durability) good thing the stocks are forged, im afraid 2 drop on cast then bend the expen$ive MF's!

I've got staggered 19's...19x8 +40 front and 19x9.5 +42 rear. 235/35r19 front and 245/35r19 rear. NEVER rub front, and rub in rear on hard bounce or with people in back.

Hope this helps even a little.

I have no idea. Forget about about 20's and find some nice 18's or 19's. 20's look terrible. Even with that much of a drop, which requires a $2000+ air suspension system or at the very least $1000 coilovers.

I'll be a part of the family soon. I have a set of TSW nogaro's sitting in my spare room with toyo proxes 4 tires, 225/35/r19. They'll be on after my engine is rebuilt.

Nice! I like the TSW Nogaro's. They should be relatively light for 19's also.

heat gun/hair dryer and goo gone.

I just took my time and then washed the car a couple times.

Also front I have eibach sportlines and rear I have ark performance.

My one eibach in the rear broke so I have all 4 ark but there is no reason to change my front springs yet
