I just got my springs in last week, plan on installing it sometime within the next 3 weeks. Does your car rub at all? What are you riding on 295r and 245f ?

There shouldnt be any rubbing if your wheels have the right offset... What wheels do you have?

I am still waiting for my wheels to come in, I ordered Lexani LSS-8, 3" front lip with 5" rear lip. 22x9 +25 and 22x10.5 +30.

Here's a photo of it on a BMW.

Hmmm your offsets are a little lower than mine (35F 38R) so I'm not entirely sure if it will rub or not. To be safe I would run 235F 285R tires... I would measure it up to be sure that you can run 245/295
