I'm running 215/40/17 Toyo Proxes 4 w/ 17x7 1/2 +43 Volk CE28n lowered on Tein Coilovers. My front is lowered to 1 finger and back to 1.5 fingers. Since all our fingers are different sizes if you want to measure on a flat surface from the ground to the fender the front is 23 3/4" and the back is 24 1/4". The only side that slightly rubs when I hit a huge dip is the driver side and only the fender liner is rubbing no metal.
I posted up a thread saying hi with some pictures of the car...
Hope the info helps..

What will you all suggest attaining to have a least possible rub?
Rim specs:
17x7.5 +45mm offset
Tire Specs:
205/45/17
currently not having any rubbing with stock springs and shocks. I want to lower it a little and not sure what combo will likely not have or the least possible rubbing
1. Tein H-Techs
2. Eibach Pro Kit + camber bolts
I have around 3-3.5 finger gap front and 4-4.5 finger gap rear with my current set-up. Thanks!

i'am lowered on progress springs 1.2F 1.0R running 17x7 +42 with 205/40 tires and the fender gap looks like same with stock springs and 16's. no rubbing at all. so would a 205/50 fill the gap better and NOT Rub?
#153
A 205/50-17 will be a huge tire to try and run on the fit. The reason your gap looks similar is due the fact that 205/40-17 is a smaller diameter than the stock 185/55-16. A 205/45-17 will reduce your gap and be fairly close to the correct overall diameter.

i got the rota boosts wrapped today but i think it's going to rub like hell as it's pretty wide. im also on swifts.
#156
forgot to update. ive not taken my car over huge dips or bumps, but so far no rubbing with swifts 16x7 ET40 wheels running 205/50/16 DWS. -1.5 camber dialed in on the front.
will see next weekend how it does on the expressway.... im going to an area known to have nasty dips.
UPDATE 10/16: quick update my setup did not rub. going to add 5mm spacers on the rear later on so ET40 front ET35 rear. will post updates again.

damn... im trying not to do that!
i want to see if i can keep the factory tab for the front fender liner as-is. hootie recommended me tuck it above the metal tab and push it up. i know for sure that will fix if i encounter any rubbing. but i shouldn't need it at my ride height and camber setting.

I didn't want to mess with mine either, but with the wheel/tire/suspension setup I'm running I didn't have a choice. I am now "Clearancing" the fender liners (read: letting the tire slowly wear it down) without worrying too much since I found out the liners are less than $45 apeice new.
my setup is 16x7 ET40 205/50/16 right now. going to push the rear by another 5mm later in the week. i dont expect any problems.
