Got the tires mounted and there were some issues. The coilovers were rubbing in the front on both the wheel and tire so we added a 3/8" spacer before even dropping it down from the lift. I'm going to have to get longer lug studs and raise the front end up. The 235's up front are kinda beefy for having it that low. But we got the clearance needed. The front of the car is still rubbing on the fender wells when going over bumps and stuff but man... my car got a lot taller. haha.
I'm happy tho and will get some pictures here in the next hour or so. I'm going to have to replace the rubber o-ring in the centercaps b/c the previous ones were swollen and pretty much shot making them not line up all the way around. No sweat. Just cruising around w/o them for the moment.

looks awesome. sucks that it is too tight up front, it probably would fit fine on stock shocks, but usually the bottom sping perch is lower on aftermarket coilovers making leaving less room for tires. thats the case with tein flex, im running 225's on 8" wheel with +25 offset and I can barely fit a finger between the tire and the spring. +30 is probably the limit

Yeah she fits fine w/ a 3/8" spacer tho... so I'm happy. I'm ordering some extended lug studs to be on the safe side of things. Just for the fronts. I couldn't be happier w/ the rears. Fits a 255/40/17 on a 9" wide wheel just fine.

yeah sorry I'm not up to par on my ebonics! haha. But I have no idea where I'm ordering the extended lug studs from. I gotta do some searching.

haha i just posted a reply to your recent autumn thread and i must say i like your choice though i still think a more agressive size and offset of your old rims is more og :P. question though...what is the next negative offset for the fronts so they wouldn't rub like +30 or +25's? just curious cause i have 17x9 advans i wanna keep running but with 215/45 streched they still rub like crazy on my suspension.
