They are really low, but the tires have a slim sidewall design and the car is running 245/275 (I think you are running 255/285 falken which is a VERY thick tire design). Try different tires man. good luck!

you saying when you turn and go up driveways you rub the top of the fender? then you should go slower. if you go slow and the suspension don't travel much you should not hit. and if you are hitting, careful, one day the wheel will catch the fender lip and blow your fender...

not much you can do except get tires. get 245 for sure if you are not doing so

I'm running Falken ST-115 245-35-20 in the front and I'm thinking running 225-35-20 later.
Henry, when I turn onto the driveway, I was very very slow......but when the front wheels are turn onto the driveway, no matter how slow, they'll get tuck into the fenders since the front suspensions will get compress with the slope angle of the driveway

umm, i suppose you have the tein cs? must be really soft then. offset on my front wheels are aggressive too and i have tein cs, but as long as i go slow enough up driveway, the suspension won't compress that much so the wheel doesn't catch the fender.

how about the tabs along the fender edge? did you bend them already?

225/35 is way too short, i am not sure if i would touch that size, talk about no sidewall. maybe you can take a pic of the touching when it's up the driveway
