Passnu2, that would be great if you can take sum pics or post a video. I am trying to determine the tires I want to go with and knowing the options I have to reduce or eliminate any rubbing would help out alot...

245/30/20 in the front should reduce/eliminate rubbing if lowered on Tanabe NF210's. From experience, lowered with 245/35/20 will rub when turning.

yup, 245/30 is spec size so rubbing is much less. 245/35 being 1" overspec, the chances of rubbing is much higher

Not really paying the shop. Just using it I guess if you want to call it that. are you looking to do this also? We may use the tools in my garage or this members garage also?? PM me with your info. Another member is doing it for me and I am installing some stuff on his car while he does this for me. I am pretty sure we can do your car the same day also I will let him post. I am not sure how long it takes.
