what is the wheel offset? You should be okay with that size, though

I'm running 17x7.5 45 offset on 205/45 tires with no rubbing. Full drop on twin basis coil overs

I am running the same offset and tire size with a 2 inch drop in the front and a 1.8 in the rear. Without camber bolts I rubbed daily in the front (just a little tire rub) but rarely in the rear (had to be a big bump). With the camber bumps I now only rub on occasion. I just took a 700 mile trip and only rubbed about 10 times and of those a couple where my fault not the car.

Used some cheap Dropzone springs (ebay special) Should have been a 1.8 F and 1.5 R and ended up being a 2.0 F and 1.8 R (50.8mm F and 45.72mm R)

Lowered on Tein lowering springs with 17X9 +22 215/45. I had fender.work done to prevent rubbing. My tires stretch 1 inch out, 1 inch in. I'm poking about 2 inches in the front, 1.5 in the rear.
