Your tires rub a little in the front, only on turns or when it bottoms out on a bump? There are guys who have the same size wheels on DF210's (lower than the NF210's) and claim they don't rub, using 245/30/20 in the front and 285/25/20 in the rear. What size tires are you running?

Yeah, you have to go to a 245 30 20 and 275 25 20 for the tires not to rub. That makes the diameter of the wheels right for the car with 20's on it. You can do a more aggressive drop with this configuration as well. This is a decision I am really struggling with because I want the look of the 20s but I am not sure I want the rubber bands for tires. Looks perfect with the right size diameter setup though.
