Default 19" Vossen CVT with awd FSport question

Has anyone done this setup on their awd FSport with RSR down springs? I have 235-35 in front and 265-30 in back. My only concern in rubbing in the rear. I have to believe someone has done this with or without success. Any info is greatly appreciated. I did send the half downs back without trying them on my car. Thank you

It would all depend on your offsets... But there are a few on here with the CVT, with different ranges of drop. Some have coils, springs and then bags. So I am pretty sure you would be okay with the correct offset

then you should be good, take a look at Larry's car, he had the first Airrex system and has those same offsets with a 275 rear tire on 19's

I'm running that exact setup on a RWD, no rubbing at all.

I've never seen a pic of Larrys car. Does he have a build thread or would it be in the "pic of your car now" forum?

Your car looks almost exactly like mine,just to show how much lower my car is stock compared to yours on downs. Thanks for your input. Us AWD guys need more input on aftermarket wheel/suspension set-ups.
