I will flat out tell you please do not put 245's up front. I had 20's on my IS and I was running 225/30/20 and those will allow you to be low and not rub the tabs so much. I still had to do defender liner cutting, fender rolling, and tab movement since I was so low static.

Thank bro...elected to stay with my 19s and go with 225 35 19. Should give me a touch more clearance and going to put some negative camber on her. Since the continental DWS can be rotated side to side shouldn't be to bad.

How did you move the tab, assuming we are talking about the connection tab of bumper and fender?? That seems to be the biggest problem up front for me?

How low are you bud?? I'm wanting to pretty much tuck rubber, and with my 235 30 19 with 35 offset I'm as low as possible now and rolled and trimmed underneath and still rub on dips at moment.

My body shop fabricated a piece and shaved some plastic around where the bumper connects. I had zip ties also.

I'm on h&r springs (1.4f and 1.3r) for now but I'll be on coils next year. I have a one finger gap.
