Rear coilovers won't go any lower, besides I'm trying not to rub too much with passengers in the back.

I went with 255/30s in the front and now I am rubbing on the driver's side. Gonna have to roll the fenders a bit or look for other options. The wheels sit very flush with the fenders, I'm running 9.5" wide wheels up front with a high offset (damm HRE )

or getting another exhaust?
Nope, gone! I love the Greddy exhaust systems, mainly the SP/SE line. Quiet but noticeable.

Careful with the rolling Carlos. If you do roll end up rolling it, make sure you or whoever does it remove the clip/fastener that holds the liner to the fender AND then CUT the tab before rolling, otherwise you will be know as Mr. Dimples. lol I believe it's two tabs on the top, thats pretty much as far as you will need to go. Rubbing is mainly around the area where the fender and bumper meets.

move the 255/30 to the rear and throw a 235 or 225/30 on the front you should be able to drop her some more, with the high offset are you rubbing on the inside???

They didn't originally look like that, they were originally all polished with some weak *** lips. We tore them apart and refinished the centers to brushed with black windows and bigger chrome lips, know they are FIYA!

Have a 285 in the Rear now and it's sitting flush, had 245 in the front but since I have 9.5' wide wheels in the front, the tires were so strectched that any bump I hit was creating a tit on the inner wall and ruining my ride. Went to 255 and car drives like a Lexus was menat to be driven, smoth.

I need more help with this fender rolling issue, don't wanan **** up my paint or have dimples. I've looked at Rominl's thread about how to do it and might try it with a heat gun and baseball bat. It's only the driver's side, wanan lower the car since the back looks lower than the front now, damm 255s

I actually want to do a photoshoot of my car before I part with it, so if anyone knows a good car photographer down here in South Fl, hit me up. I'll do a sound clip vid this weekend, been busy parting out my R1 before the buyer picks it up today. Having Babies comes with a price, big price. lol
