Finished the photo shoot today (I am not a professional photographer though I did my best) - this will just give more people ideas of what to do or not to do

ALL powder coating was done by "No Limit Powder Coating" in Ventura, CA - Steve the owner does quality work at a great price!
For some reason I couldn't get the color right...I think it was because of a filter I used when I took the picture (but you get the idea just for the look)
Should update mine, running Rays Gramlight 57FXX on J5 Coilovers front is 20x9 offset 38 the rear is 20x10 offset 40 same tires so that stayed the same.
its your springs.. i had same issue..TANABE springs are too soft,they bottom out.everyone talks about the nice drop but none talks about how soft they are.Had mine on for a month and switched them out for SWIFT.great springs hands down!!!
As mentioned, one way to fix rubbing is by switching to stiffer springs which allow less deflection, hence less rubbing on bumps.
In this case I'm almost certain that when it happens, the rubbing is on the out board side near the top of the fender liner. So the other way is to use less aggressive (higher) offset in front. The tire/wheel combo will look less flush, but you get full suspension travel without rubbing.
Again, please be sure to include wheel, tire and suspension specs when posting up your picture thread. If I missed your car, it's probably because I couldn't find this information.
I'm getting rubbing on both my fronts every now and then on bigger bumps or dips in the road, parking lot, etc. A little disappointed since I read about so many people with similar setups not rubbing. What gives? Still, the look and stance makes it all worth it
maybe its cause the springs arent stiff enough.
im on coils and have the same sizes for the rims and tires and i dont rub at all. and im lower. sometimes the front rub only when making a full u turn with the wheel cut all the way
Thx terrycs! As one of the few running 10" wheels up front and a non-staggered setup, I wanted to share my specs w/ the community in case anyone else was interested.
One thing I'd like to note for everyone, I have 10mm spacers all around. So although the wheel spec is 40mm, the actual offset on my car is 30mm.

I'm having the same problem with you, the front rubs so bad, currently with Velgen VMB9 20". But with 245/35/20 for the front.
Small correction on my car: It is the Hybrid F-sport with currently lowering springs RSR Downsus. This combination gives major rubbing. J5 coilovers with AVS support have been bought and should be installed in a month or so.

I know this is an old thread, was wondering if you had to shave or roll the rear fenders to fit the 285 / 30 tire?

No rubbing at all anywhere even with a full load of people in the car with the RSR Down Springs
Wheel colors:
Gloss Black outer lips, Matte Black inner barrel, Evo Grey Centers ** I am going to go for a photo-shoot one of these days soon - though here is an iPhone picture of the wheel
