you're on CA... u can run v. low profile tires so it does not rub.... try running 215/35 fronts slammed on Tein CS should not rub at all... unless doing very high speed turns i guess.. and also you can try to go 265/30 at the back....it should be slightly tucked in.... a friend of mine runs Varianza T1s slammed on a Tanabe coils.. running 215 is tucked in the fronts with no fender mods...

I'm guessing above 2 pics from MRR website are on stock suspension. The pictures were named "normal" when I downloaded them.

Here's my 19" MRR GT 1's...


I believe the rears are 10.5's and the fronts 9.5's. Wrapped in General Exclaim UHP's.

I have the Eibach Pro kit installed and a little rubbing, but nothing major to worry about.

Thanks for the pics UNIT74, nice setup.

About an extra 1" wheel width front and rear over usual configuration

Happy Holidays.

Thanks.
