Believe me, the absolute last thing I want is to change wheels - I love the way my car looks.

When I chose my setup I figured I would be totally safe with +40mm and 195/50/16

Here is the current setup.

This was as soon as I put the coilovers on, it might be 2.75 inches?

I just don't understand the rub. You are definitely lower than I've ever been, rear looks like 2.75" and front looks close to 3" drop.

You're rubbing on the plastic fender liner and not the actual fender though, correct?

Here's my current 17x7.5, +28 setup. 205/40/17. No rubbing until I get 3 passengers.





Also - look at my rear fenders in these pictures. See how they're messed up? From rubbing with my 15x7 +19 setup I tried.
