What size are the tires? Wheel offset? Wheel width? My car rubs in the back with 18x7.5's (45 offset) with 225/40 tires and its not dropped and at all!!!

i rolled my fenders, before that i rubbed all the time. tires are 235 35 19 offset is +45 and the wheels are 19x8. i think its because when u drop the car the wheels lean more inside rather than standing straight up. roll your fenders and u will be fine. also had my wheels milled so i figure i have a +47 MAYBE +48 now

how new are your springs dbox?

The reason I ask this, because i think it's true for many cars. After a few months, the drop actually gets lower when the springs have settled in (soften). Your drop might actually get lower!

Dubz on first gen's

I tries to tell all of the TL owners that we could fit these big wheels. I guess Dbox proved it before anyone else could. I knew that with a roll of the fender, a person could fit either the 19's or the Dubz on the first gen's. Can't wait to see pictures. Are they chrome (just to be curious)?
