That may be silverspruce...but my problem isn't the how wide the tires are at the moment. it's the drop.
take a look at the damage. the front inner wheel well fender's fallen out twice. This hurts, but i'm going to show it
This is the passenger side wheel well. That's the airbag wire I believe...yes just dangling there. The driver's side, I believe, is higher than the passenger side, and that's I think the only reason why that side is still intact. Is a fender roll going to prevent this from happening again if I put in a new fender liner?

Thats not too low, u cant even see the top of my tires with my 18in rims with a +12 offset in front. (215/35/18s stretched on 8.5in rims) Slight camber nothing really noticeable tho.. no rubbing, no fenders rolled.

Fender roll won't help at all. Easiest answer is lower profile tires but it's not a guarantee.
Hit me up and lets discuss/get together a re-routing of the air-bag & (i believe) anti-lock wires. After the re-route we can remove the well completely (maybe even fabricate something to at least cover the top to prevent a ton of dirt getting into the engine bay.
The next couple of weekends look pretty good for me. (especially this one - right before my B-Day) hint, hint !

..........back from the dead!!!do TT tokico illumina's really drop the sc that drasticly?
Actually, I spoke to some owners and it's only a problem for me. The reason is that I didn't (forgot) to put the OEM bump stops on the suspension. I double checked the instruction manual and it said that you have to cut the cut bump stops and put it on with the illuminas. Mark and I thought it just came as a complete package when we installed it.

Ended up picking up a set of TT illumina's, installing then driving down to GA from NY. I had them on the stiffest settings the whole way. Yes these with springs help give one hell of a drop, NY, NJ, Staten island, and parts of PA roads sucked but the rest of the way was absolutly amazing. Tokiko Illumina's get a stiff

I think my front looked lower than your front. The rear looked the same. Yea, my illuminas came off last week b/c i'm in the process of prepping to sell the car.

my philosophy is the lower the better. i have tein coilovers and i have the front slammed and the back alittle bit higher i can't even stick my finer in my front fender. i have 19's and full body kit. front is like 2.5-3 inchs off the ground. looks amazing
FYI - Tokico Illuimina's are a non-height adjustable coilover.... you cannot buy the springs or shock seperate.
The profile of tire and offset are what's causing the problem. I had the bigger rims with low pro tires and didn't have rub issues.

Bringing it back from the dead! I know for a fact that it isn't a profile/offset issue that is causing the problem. I bought his old set up and I'm riding on TT rims and I'm having the same exact problems as he did. I also put in the bump stops that he forgot to install. I have no clue what the problem is and it is extremely annoying. Is there someone with this set up that could chime in?
