yeah i raised it up about half an inch in the last few months (prior to those last pics by the water) cuz i couldn't stand the super paranoid cautious driving and i was still rubbing. i am still slightly rubbing and still have to be a cautious driver and it still drives me nuts but i guess thats all part of the game right?

is there a good way to measure this? are you still running the 225x35x20? if so what is the best way to measure, i figure just measure how much tire is visible above top of the rim before the fender... if your cool with it i will go measure this afternoon and post up how much tire i have visible if you will on the top of the wheel in the front. again i had to raise it up half an inch but i am still tucking at least .5-1" of front tire in my static dd height.

according to the guys at FX auto and VIPDOUT you should be able to go with 20x9 +25 and 20x10.5 +30 with just rolling the front fenders and shaving the rears... according to the multiple measurements I've taken on my current wheel and suspension set up this should be pretty flush without any major fender mods or fender pulls. Depending on the wheels you will get 2.75" 3" lip in front and 3.75" -4" on the rear lip. Obviously that all depends on overall wheel design but this is a subject I've been researching in great depth here lately. Hope that gives you some ideas.

... and I'm currently running Megan LP Streets and am about 3 turns from all the way down so the LS is pretty low but not slammed... I'm not rubbing at all until I hit a hard bump.

Yeah that sounds about right depending on tire size more than anything. Flush in the front looks nice but will usually mean rubbing whenturning and hitting a bump or especially when turning into a driveway that has a little ledge if lowered much at all.
I'm only tucking about half an inch of tire up front and I'm borderline on the annoying rubbing scale with a passenger.

true on the tire size... I've got 225/35 mildly stretched up front. It works great but again, I'm not all the way down on it either so that makes a difference for sure. The roads here aren't friendly for that type of set up and she's a daily driver.
