before you lower your car, you need to change our your tires, or you will be rubbing like crazy. GUARANTEED. listen to the members on this forum......they've ALL been through the lowering process already.

judging by your pics, your wheels look as if they poke out a bit. you know when you lower your car with H&R springs and dot1 pads, your fender will just be cutting into your tires.
