with 15's, you should be ok.... with a 2/2.5 inch drop, I'm assuming you've had the camber properly adjusted as well. 205/50-15's? Getting Azenis?

I have a camber kit for the car but haven't played with it yet. I wanted to wait until I finished the 4 wheel disc and put the new suspension in. I ditched my 17 white revo's in favor of the rota's.....I had too... I also just picked a sweet set of real carbon fiber F1 mirrors for it, not sure how they will look but I hope there trick.

i'll let you know as soon as i get my Azenis.
unless you have the tires, good luck getting them because everyone is on back-order for 3 to 4 weeks.
I ordered my tires about a week ago and i was told the tires will be shipped in two weeks maybe.
I really dont think you're gonna have problems. I've heard there might be slight rubbing in the inside when your front wheels are turned all the way.

Have you thought about the off-set of the wheels?

i have an 00 Si lowered 2in. with %Zigen springs and run a 225/50/15 BFG in the front with no probs, so i would assume you wouldnt either. also a 205/50/15 in back, but of course thats no problem.
