WoW, my car looks so different now, haha. What size rim and tire are you using Jeremy?

Oh, in that case, unless you're running hella low, you shouldn't have any problems except for with the rear fender lips. I'm 17x8.5+40 with the same size tire, and that's the only problem I ever ran into until I dropped the car to a 1/4" or less of fender/tire gap. Then, my front would rub the fenders only slightly, and rub the fender liners A LOT. I trimmed the fender liners before I showed the car at Formula D 2 days after I dropped the car on Tein Flex's only to end up raising the car another 1/2"-3/4" because my car got stuck on a speed bump that very same weekend, lol. I'm sure if I had stock bracing underneath, I would have been able to roll around like that all day, like Emxfivesssshhhh (I dunno the actual spelling). But if you have aftermarket underbracing, like I have all Beatrush bracing under my car, don't slam your car. It won't work, lol.
wont be swapping suspension any time soon. just dont like seeming tire slivers hanging off my car. im sure its more than enough for what i was getting.
So... this? lol. This is what made me realize, yeah... rolled fenders may be a necessity. There's no feeling to describe seeing this on your brand new $200+ a tire Bridgestones.
yep! only got that on my star specs. the first time i saw it i though... man these tires have some strange tire flash patterns.
I didn't go as far in the rear because of the caliper too...thought i'd be okay but when going up ramps from the street i hear it rub all the time and sometimes it sounds like crushing cans.
oh right! so i did streets of willow on sunday. no rubbing and not string cheese tires.
guess i rolled as much as i needed.
