Are you slammed? Do you rub? Wheel offset?
Im now officially slammed via my new technique. I rub with stock width tires and oem rims.
I think Im going 18" forgestar f14s soon, but now the question of offset. I want the rim to sit flush, so obviously it would rub more, hence I raise it a tad.
But, I do see some pretty slammed e55's out there and I was just curious of rim size/tire/offset combo and if you scrape hard.
only pic for reference right now:

sits about 24" from the top of fender to ground in the front, 24.5" in the rear.

I am slammed with 20's. Only rubbing issue is if I'm turning pretty hard going up a driveway or hitting a bump. I drive around town with pretty much no problems.
