Hello to All,
I've been trying to get some ideas from your experience, but still can't come up with the right wheel setup. I'm about to install NF210 springs on 08' 450h, and put some shoes on (20"x8.5F nad 20"x10R)... Problem is 450h is heavier, so it sits lower on Tanabe springs. I don't know which tire size I should go with to prevent rubbing. The offset on the wheels are 40 front and 35 rear... SHops here in NJ are big ripoffs, so I can't just go and have them TRY it on... Any comments from you guys will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Personally if it was my car i would go with a full coilover setup, that is the only way you will have a chance to achieve a nice even drop, otherwise like you mentioned the extra weight of the batteries is going to throw everything out of whack. Tein CS would be a nice choice, although they cost about $900 more than the NF210 Maybe some other 450h owners can chime in with other suggestions??
