tire size also plays an important role in avoiding rubbing

also the drop of the car, you CAN run some insane offsets IF you dont drop the car but then that would look stupid.

Is that true, not that anybody want insane offsets? I think you stil need to be able to cycle through full length of suspension travel dropped or not, without rubbing.

Ehh MrMark car roll on Roadmagnet spring which are drop 2 inches all around.. I can tell one finger gap in front and there is nothing to worry about rubbing.. Few people have problem lower on coilover with low offset cuz there car drop way lower then MrMark..
