Tires for Aspecs when lowered?

Went looking through the wheel/tire thread but couldn't find much to answer my questions

What size tires are you guys running on Aspec wheels when lowered and running spacers? And do you need to roll fenders when doing so?
i ask because I am running 235/45 Continentals and when I go over the back I get a sound that seems to be rubbing. I have a set of coilovers sitting here that I have yet to put on so I'm just trying to get it all to mesh together well.

So Aspec wheels+spacer+coilovers is my set up? Looking to see what tires and whether or not to roll fenders

How low are you wanting to go?

My Tein coilovers are maxed out, I have 225/40/18, 15mm F 20MM R spacers, and only rear fenders rolled and slight pull. Zero rub.

Initially I had 245/40/18 when I installed coilovers. When they were maxed out, I couldn't drive anywhere because it would rub constantly.

I don't plan on maxing the teins out but they again your car looks really good lol but to start it not that low.

I had a tire tire go flat on me last night so I may end up just getting new ones sooner than I thought

I ran 235/40s on my 18x8.5 A-Specs, 15mm spacers up front and 20mm rear. The rear fenders were rolled and I didn't rub at all, even with 0 camber. Stock shocks with Tein S-Tech springs.



I bumped down to a 215/40 when I went all hella slammed. The car looked great but I couldn't drive it anywhere

yeah that was just what was on the car when I got it. Good as time as any now that the car is getting lowered to get some different sizes on there
