18's, two different sets of wheels as well as stock wheels, two different tire sizes, Tein S-Tech springs, ZERO problem EVER with scraping or rubbing.

Here's the configurations:

Lowered with HPR5 Wheels, 18x8, +38, 215/35-18 tires. Tires were WAY too narrow for the wheel. Hence the huge bend in a wheel after a pothole encounter. Speedo was spot on though as it was the same diameter as the stock wheels.


Put stock wheels back on. This had a marked effect on the front camber due to the narrowness of the stock wheels. DESTROYED the stock tires.


Got Tenzo DC5 wheels, 18x8, +35, 225/40-18 tires. PERFECT tire, but speedo is approx. 3% too slow. 60 = about 63-64, GPS verified. Also added SSIII knock off splitters too, so it makes it look that much more lowered.
