^^ hey thanks man, Im sitting on H&R springs and running 225/35/19 upfront and 255/30/19 in the rear. I am not a big fan of the way the rear looks with a 255 I just put them on there because I already had a brand new pair that were going to go on my other wheels, so I will be getting 275/30/19 for the rear on my next check. Only minor rubbing on the front driver's side around fast turns. Not enough to make any marks on the tire but enough to eat up a little of the wheel well liner. A simple heat gun mod should fix it which is what I will be doing this weekend. Other than that I can't tell you how much of a comfort difference it made compared to my MRR HR-4 wheels.

I need help folks. Was dropped on eibach springs with fsport struts (which will be going up for sale Thursday complete with the top hats will not separate) just saying, haha. Now dropped on Megan LP's and love the way it looks dumped, but rubs everywhere and can't drive it this way, so going to have to roll the fenders and go with a stretched tire setup. Zoeb, is 215/30/19 and 245/30/19 acceptable? Apparently I have not done a bumper tab relo just shaved the tab down some when I first put these wheels on and it fixed the primary issue. Now I got a new one. Anyhow suggestions and input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Examples below.

Old setup eibachs on fsport struts.


New setup Megan LP's




Rear wheel almost rubbing face of rim on unrolled fender, up a driveway.

I currently have the LC818 and I was wondering what tire size to run? I am lowered on H&R springs/F-sport shocks?

I wanted to avoid rubbing as much as possible. Would it be better to run 225/35/19 or 235/35/19 for front? Would it be better to run 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 for the rear? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I am planning on getting the Continental DWS ExtremeContact as well...

I had 235/35 front and 275/30 rear with the continentals on a stock IS250 and loved the setup. I did rub up front slightly... Only at full turns. I didn't do anything to the fender liners. There are a couple easy fixes for that but you'll have to do something if you don't want to rub. Sorry I wasn't lowered to give you some perspective, but maybe that will help.

Look up above bro, someone up top is running the same setup as you. Says he's running 225 up front and 255 in rear. I just change my tires out from 235 and 265 since I went lower than my eibachs were originally dropped. Now I'm on 215 and 245. Not a huge fan of how it looks but I can definitely go LOW with this setup and I'm not rolled or shaved yet. Sorry to say, you're still going to rub up front regardless until you relo the bumper tab. My 265s still did not rub at all even when dumped. But just barely! Just FYI.

Thanks, the stickers are gone since 2 days ago, and I don't regret taking them of.
