Default Friday is the day! Lowering time! *Lesson Learned*

Let's just say my first decision on tires was not the best one.

Current setup
Front: 245/35/20 +38
Rear: 275/30/20 +45
Wheels: 20" Vossen CVT's

This setup rubs pretty bad front and rear especially if people are sitting in the back. Its hard to get the back to rub if no one is sitting back their but does pretty bad on sharp turns and bumps if people are sitting in the back.

New tires/suspension
Front: 225/30/20
Rear: 255/30/20
Springs: RSR Down Springs

Going to have the tires mounted and springs installed Friday. Judging from many posts on here I feel this setup will work well.

Everyone agree?

It's at the shop right now. I'm going to sell the tires on craigslist I think. The fitment better be spot on now and no rubbing!

I'll try and post a pic soon picking it up later today.
