Default Tanabe DF210 - Staggered Wheel Setup

First off, I would like to say that although I have been a member of this forum for quite a while, I have not been a good fellow member. I've hardly every posted anything because I didn't really have anything to contribute. And for this...I am sorry!! But now, I have finally lowered my GS and installed some 20's. Here's the picture...let me know what you guys think. I'll take some better pics soon...

You kidding me...it seriously dropped almost another 1". Unfortunately, the ride is a little stiff. You really only nitice when going over bumps on the road. I'm also getting TONS of rubiing in front tires. I was trying to avoid rolling the fenders, but I guess I dont have a choice. I could barely turn the steering wheel without it rubbing like hell.

The weirdest thing...I guess because of the car being so stiff over the bumps, I now how have a bunch of rattles behind my dash. WTH...IT"S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

What tires sizes are you running? And are you rubbing on the inside of the wheel well or the fender side

I think that's my first mistake...I'm running a 245/35 in the front. I probably should have bought some 245/30's instead. I rub 90% of the time on the fender. It's when I turn the steering wheel that the rubbing is ocurring. The other 10% is when I go over a bump or have to break hard. Then it just rubs on the wheel well.

Are you just rubbing plastic? I have my fenders shaved so if I rub it's usally crushing my fender lol!
