Zero issues
Too much wheel gap made me change my mind on lowering.

I'm glad you made that decision Doodlebug. I'm the same way. I like nice wheels and stock suspension. All that unnecessary wear and tear down there, more alignments yearly, more maintenance mental time to take up and money,etc. Too much. I just want to drive the car and enjoy lol. Glad to read and see someone like me. Nice car man I'm from the GS section but I like seeing unicorns too....
Since I swap wheels and tires for winter, I get alignments twice a year anyway. Thanks for the compliment.

Well, I did lower it, but, minimally. It's about 1/2 - 3/4" lower than stock, so I don't expect too much wear and tear. I just didn't want to go too low, I'd tear up the front fascia for sure.

And rubbing issues, if any?

Comparison pics of stock vs half downs. IMO big difference in the front. You're also looking at two different sets of tires. Top pic are Continental DWS.
I had some rubbing issues with 245/35 Pilot SS in the front. They've been replaced with 235/35.

hi Doodle
Yes, the second set is on half downs. There is a little difference in ride quality of 19's vs 18's = lower profile. But as far as the suspension and mileage, I don't notice a difference.

Thank you for posting this! The general consensus seemed to be a 8.5 +35 in the front... but none of them were sitting flush with the top of the fender arch. Your +20 is exactly what I needed to see!
