Really pleased for you, and they look the business. Well done, Is there any rubbing on the fronts with 235's? Glad you went for 255's rear as i still think you would have had rubbing probs with 265's without a wheelarch roll.

Its close on the back of the wheel well in one raised spot.The top of the tire is about an inch from the strut. I tell you what the car feels mush smoother when driving normal and thats not just in my head. I think it has to do with the Contisports i had up front... Those tires suck. Nitto's all around now I think there is enough room to fit a 265 rear The tire guy told me i could go 275 if i wanted but i dont think that will work well.

i just thought of something.......you seem to be scared of lowering it because of the fact that the tire is 1" from the strut. by that- i am thinking you are talking about the spring perch on the strut- correct? if so- that distance will stay the same no matter which set of springs you go with.
