5.Drop amount =1.5" Comptech springs
6.Do they rub = Only the outside corner edge of my front tire (that's on the turning side) will rub on the plastic inside the front fender if I hit a dip or steep driveway too fast with my steering wheel turned all the way to one side - when the dampers & springs compress and the weight is on the front. So I try not to do that. That's cuz I got 45 series tires and they're .29" taller than stock. I need to get stiffer shocks or coilovers?

1. AME Modelart
2. 18 x 7.5
3. +47mm (shop claims to have customized from a +45)
4. Pneumann (never heard of this brand; think i got jacked)
5. 225/40/18
6. Eibach Prokit (2.1" , 1.65")
7. The rear rubs (after cutting out all the tabs no more rub)

In my opinion:

Note: Some people are running 18 x {8} with a 45+ offset with no rub on 225/40/18 w/ drop. How are you guys getting away with no rub? For those who are uncertain of wheel offset i recommend not going with anything smaller than +47 on my setup (above) if you do not want to have your tires rub.

FYI : I got 35spf titanium tint. For those people with NAV i repeat
DO NOT GET TITANIUM TINT ON THE REAR WINDOW! My nav is out of whack now I must strip the tint.

6.Yea it did scrub, because i was concerned about premature miles being added to my car... I think ill drop to 225/45 when I get my new tires... I did fix the scrub in tha back with a dremel and it doesnt scrub anymore, the only thing it did scrub was rubber from the top part of the rear bumper... I shaved it and it looks nice, you cant even tell...Shyne

1.Rim size: (19" X 8" Axis SE7EN's)
2.Offset: (+40, but +45 is available and probably better)
3.Brand of tire: (Falken ZE-502 cheap, but very impressive)
4.Tire size: (235/35/19)
5.Drop amount: (Comptech springs, initial drop was 1.5" front and .75" rear, waiting to see if they settle)
6.Do they rub. (had to cut a VERY small part of the plastic on the rear part of the rear inner fender well, now there is absolutely no rubbing, +45 to +48mm may prevent it completely without cutting)
7.Weight: (28 lbs w/o tires.)

1. "Rezax II" wheels forged 3 piece by "Work" (same wheel on the yellow car in "The Fast and the Furious") www.work-wheels.co.jp
2. 19X8
3. offset 51mm
4.Nitto 555 (something like that... all I know is there are 3 "5" in it)
5. 235/35/19
6. 1.75 drop front and back
7. The people that installed my springs (Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim, CA www.wheelwarehouse.com ) told me that there might be some minor"trimming" before they started the work... I agreed to it... when I saw my car after it was done... I couldn't even tell where they had "trimmed." They had to point them out... They were very minor... at no extra charge. So, NO... there are NO rubbing at all... even with people in the back... it was good that I didn't go any lower than 1.75" drop... I didn't want that... "low rider" look.
