As low as she's going.....
That's as low as she's going. I still rub the front fenders if my wheel's turned any more than half going up or down a driveway and going over speed bumps it scrapes the resonator sometimes. I think it's the screw that holds the fender liner at the top. I'll see what I can do to solve that problem. And remember I'm running 245f & 275r tires.
The Megan coilovers still keep the suspension more than comfortable too.

245/35-20 is going to rub iin the front at lock, against the fender liner.
225/35 is a good VERY mild stretch on a 9J and is JUST small enough that it won't rub, but still big.
I run 225/35-20 on a 9j and 245/35-20 on a 10.5j

Thanks for the compliments.
Ya, I'm considering putting a 225 on the front. I guess I'll have to sell my 245s first. We'll see.

if you were local i might have considered picking them up, can always use a spare set of rears
good luck!
oh yeah, if you ever plan to roll the fenders, make sure you take the fender trim AND the screws for the fender LINE out. otherwise you'll have dimples.

Ya, I wish I had found that out earlier. I rolled them with the screws in and it dimpled. It's pretty slight so I'm sure I can fix it.
