Your wheels will be INSET, meaning your wheels will or should not be touching the quarter panels. Running a 275/30-20 tire will be perfectly safe. STOP over thinking things.

The front is more of a concern, but running the correct offset/tire will prevent that.

Running higher offsets means your wheel is in more, less flush. You wont have a problem rubbing on the outside. if your rear is a +45 you can go 275/30/20 with no mods in the rear.

Looking Good! Nice drop. How is the ride after cutting the front springs? Your sitting lower than the wifies MRM with 19's lowered on Eibachs.

How much did you pay to have your fab rep painted? I just installed mine today unpainted. I will get it painted sometime this week.

ride's fine...i'm not too picky though when it comes to that. I also dropped the car and put the rims all at the same time so I couldn't tell you how it compared to stock springs/wheels.

Everyone I know with a 2IS has the DF210's for 3GS though. My brother with the white 08 with the Autocoutures has the same setup.
