Ok guys i have tried my hardest NOT to get sucked into lowering my GS, but the temptation from this site is KILLING me!

So i decided to go lower in the front. I originally started off with 2" springs from Megan but there was still a Gap in between the tire and fender. So to get rid of this i bought a 38mm Exact RCA. Now some have said that this will lower my car by 1' but after doing some math i realized that 38mm is equal to 1.5 inches. My first thought..... SLAMMAGE! so i rush to the shop after work and put them on in like 30 minute. Step back and was like DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUMMMMM!

Thats DOPE!
My mechanic was like" your not going anywhere driving that low".
He was right! i didnt make it down the street, all i heard was rubbing and turning ..... forget about it!.

So my question is How can i make this work? My front wheel setup is as follows. 235/35/20 wrapped around 20x8 rims.
Suspension is 2" megan springs, stock shocks, and an Exact 38MM RCA.

Now i know there are guys on here running wider wheels up front with no wheel well gap. So please hook this noob up with some cost effective ways on how to make this setup work.

thanks in advance......

I wanna know where all the rubbing is coming from because truly it looks like you've got plenty of space to turn the wheel, does it rub when driving straight or just turns?

Both... Once i tried to turn the wheel it started to damage my fender. The plastic inside the wheel well is rubbing on the tire too

Take a heat gun and heat up the fender liner and mold it up. Or just take a knife and cut the top portion of the fender liner out. and you can roll the fender lip in. then you should be set!

Will this stop the fender from riding on the tire? How can i roll the fender?

Yeah take out the fender liner completely or cut it and get your inner fender lip rolled. There should be a shop or two or an individual somewhere in your location that can do the fender rolling.

ok. btw your white GS is coming along real nice. cant wait to see the outcome. ill check to see if there's someone in my area that can roll my fenders.

bro ur running an improper tire size that is taller than OE spec. thats why youre rubbing more than usual.
you need a 235/30ZR20 instead of a 235/35.. A tire thats 25.9" diameter~


Also your fenders need to be rolled. pay someone to do it for you.

sell your EXACT 38mm RCAs, and buy SAGE 18mm RCAs....lol.

I believe those springs in the front have a spring rate of 280lbs/in (5kg/mm). That's quite soft for the wheel gap you have, especially when you turn. Even with the fenders rolled/shaved/cut/etc, you should still take it easy in the corners.

trust me i said the same thing, however when i tried to order the tires from tire rack they refused to sell me 235/30/20. i was told that it will not support the weight in the front of the gs. i faught with them about this for a week...... As of right now i think i am going to hold off on adding the front RCA. i think it will do more harm than good.
