two quick questions:
1. when you say 35 series tires... were they 235/35 or 245/35????
2. your wheels... what's the offset????

Once you answer those two questions... I may be able to help you.... later...

you should have no rubbing with a 1" to 1.5" drop.... just keep your camber at around 1.5 degrees...

I'm running 245/35 w/ 40mm offset & 1.5" drop... NO RUB...

As a side note... I did roll my fenders 'cause I was previously running 35mm offset wheels... it's crazy what 5mm of offset effects...
