Fronts: 19" X 8.5" on Nitto 555 235/35/19
Rears: 19" X 10" on Nitto 555 265/30/19
Only rubbing I experienced was when I first got the rims, before I dropped it, I used a heat gun to melt that plastic hump on the inside of the front wheel well liner. This tip was found on the forum.

. Here you go guy's for your viewing pleasure.I live in California Bay area which the roads have tore through many of my suspensions and tires on my previous cars to where I end up going back to stock. My previous car Porsche 996 C2 I had gemballa wheels AKA Speedlines so they never bent when I hit pot holes but the sidewalls of my tire would bubble out and I would have to replace them which wasn't pleasant to do all the time. I ended up putting the stock suspension and the stock 18's back one and selling the 19's. I am asking because I am thinking about eibachs on 19's HRE or Modulare wheels
Thanks...

Would it be too much on the shocks to just change the springs?
I mean now you're compressing the shocks a lot more. I dont know much about shocks and springs but is it better to change both? or is there a tolerance to them and the Eibach Pro Kit "springs" are still ok for the stock shocks?

Personally I would just change them out at the same time that way you dont have to do 2 installations and 2 alignments. Would highly recommend adjustable shocks when they come out, that way you can adjust the dampening rate for the optimal ride[/QUOTE]
Does anybody know where to purchase any aftermarket or adjustable shocks ??. My springs are coming in next week
and I would like to purchase adjustable's if they are available.
Thanks Smooth

Right on Smooth1. 
Now comes the hard part, the wait. 
My rim was repaired for $100 at Moo's and am picking it up today, hope it looks good. Will flip tires and align Friday. Maybe your drop will be in the same time.
