Why did you go with a 50 series btw?

im at about 2 degrees negative already... im just a bit worried that anymore cambre will really chew the tires...
hey ken: (why am i pushing my tires furhter out? just so it can rub on the outer fender liner? right now its rubbing on the inside liner... ive not yet heard metal on rubber, cept on one ocassion...
also, most rubbing occurs when the rear is loaded... i just need to really avoid loading the rear.... after alot of trimming thanks to the tires (it poked right through in certain areas).... the rubbing seems to be less wiht just me on board...
ill try dremeling out part of the inner fender... hopefully it wont rub on metal....
any issues if i do rub on metal? will the galvanized steel be rubbed off and i get a lot of rust after winter?

the best is 205/45/17s, i have 1" drop front and rear and with stock tire size, I do not have any rubbing issues. The problem on your deal is the tire size, it is wrong. You may get around it with spacer, I seriously doubt it though. heh heh heeee, the same deal, when you mod your car, there is always a compromise, good luck

you're out of luck other than to raise the height or get different tires.
