someone please help..
i have 20x8.5 fronts with a +35 offset i believe and about a 3mm spacer to clear my caliper. i was dropped on eibachs at first i had 245/30/20 toyo T1Rs which rubbed the fender/bumper bracket. i then switched to falkens becuase they were alot cheaper but for some reason they were alot wider and had a bigger sidewall then the toyos so they rubbed way more. They protect the wheel nicely but when i turn all the way i rub the fender so im guessing i need to downsize to a 235 or maybe even a 225 for more of a stretch?? does anyone know what tires have a good sidewall design to minimize rubbing with a stretch. should i go back to toyos? i dont know much about stretching tires.
right now i upgraded to HKS coilovers and the fronts are perfectly flush with the fender, but im nervous im going to rub when i turn all the way and hit a dip or something. i quess that just depends on dampening and the tire stretch? please help asap !! thanks in advance

nice shots guys!!
To all of the other new members that post questions in this thread, you guys gotta search more. There are so many questions that could be answered by taking the time to read the threads. This is probably why you don't get answers right away. We all had to do some research to get "aggressive". I may be out of line, but it's more of an accomplishment to push the envelope and make the decision to go "aggressive."
If you ride the coat tails of those before you, you will always be a step behind. So if your "worried if it will rub" or "think the stretched tire look is not cool" just pick the offsets from tire rack, and you'll never go wrong. But for the rest of us here, we all accept the risk and applaud the effort of going truly aggressive.
