Offset is 35 now and the rubbing is slightly in that bumper tab corner. 5mm spacers should fix it or 225 tires... I might get the spacers tomorrow, so I will let you now after testing.

Jeff you are right, but I forgot to mention that I got 4 front wheels, 2 left/ 2 right, so they are all 19x8"+45mm

you can run lower profile tires so you can go lower without rubbing if you want.

I see. Then of course the effective sizes would be:

19x8.0" +35mm Front
19x8.0" +30mm Rear

That's correct!

I hope the 5mm frontspacer will solve the rubbing problem, I am not sure what the cause is, but my previous set didn't rub with the same height.

2011 Fsport 18" with 235/40/18 tires on 18x8" +45ET (spacers makes it ET35)

you hear rubbing when your turning? I used a heat gun and pushed back a small area of the inner liner the side that faces towards the car not the engine. If you have someone turn your wheel and you look at it youll see it. Other than that it can rub from your drop too...im luckily not having any issues.

Nice pic~!

No not when turning, because I already did that mod, its the bumper tab, but thats due to the spacer I have used of 10mm, which pushes the wheels 10mm further outside.

What tire size are you runnning?

Is your drop only the Fsport springs?

how much gap do you have?

Lol it seems like the rubbing is coming from the offset with 235 tires lol

But yours doesnt look like 2 finger gaps in front?

Still waiting for my new spacer, so I just lowered the car and removed the 10mm spacer and there is no rubbing anymore...

I would rather lower it without spacers than raise the car with spacers :P
