depends on your offsets too. my front tires are 245/35 and rears 275/30 on 19s as well. just noticed you're in silicon valley. shouldve tapped you, as i just drove back from there. my tires dont rub at all as shown in my sig, thats how low i am.

also, odd, i couldnt achieve 0 gap in front w/my CS

Did you mean 245/40, and that's probably the cause for your rubbing problem. Technically your tires are over sized and prone to hit the splash shield more than a standard tire set up.

I feel stupid asking that too, but I kinda wonder how you can drive that low. Like if you hit a bump while turning, the tire doesn't hit the fender or do you have to turn and drive very very carefully?

I'm not planning on anything real extreme, I'm thinking DF210's should be low enough for me but I'm a little concerned about being that low on 20's with the "fat" setup, 245/35 and 275/30. I've got L-Sportlines that I gather are pretty conservative by today's standards, 8.5 f and 9.5 r with 44 offset all around and I don't mind doing a little massaging of the fender if necessary; but I'm worried about being able to turn without problems if I'm almost tucking the front tire.

u should be fine with that set up..44 offset will make ur rims sunken in anyway..i had 19x8.5 +45 all around..no rubbing at all..and i was on chopped df's..i was running 235/35 all around also..so u should be fine..if anything a little rolling is all u'll need

ok finally took some pics with the TEIN SS's




ordering some H&R spacers soon to flush it out

the Fronts are maxxed (2 donuts cut off bump stop) the rears can be dropped another inch and a half if i cut 2 donuts off the bump stop. (in which i forgot too )

sorry digicam suxas and gs is dirty!

i was going to ask the same thing, whats the offsets? and what size spacers are you looking for, i was thinking about 25mm but thats just wayy to thick. and 15 might be too small? im not sure what are you shooting for?

Thanks, I gotta pull the trigger on the springs this weekend, I've had the car 2 weeks now and the stock 16's are driving me crazy. I'm not going for a "VIP" fitment but I'm hoping they're not too sunken in, I thought they looked ok in the pics from the previous owner but I'll have to evaluate things when I get it all together.

Thanks for the reassurance.
