Default Rubbing issues?

Im lowered on Tokico springs and struts, 1.5 inch drop.

I ordered 16" wheels with 205/45/16 tires, Will there be any rubbing issues?

You made the right choice in tire size. You should be fine as long as you don't have no odd ball offest on your wheels.

I had that same size tire on Roto Slips with the H&R Sport (Which might be 1½" or a little mroe I don't remember) and KYB AGX's. Never rubbed.


Just a word from the wise. Be sure to pay attention to your tire wear. Even though our tire looked straight and drove great. We had camber issues and the inner tire wore quickly. We'll 8K or so but that's pretty quick in my book.

After i lowered my car i had a local body shop do a 4 wheel alignment and i have 195 tires right now and no odd tire wear at all, Ive driven thousands of miles.

its a 40 offset, My SI wheels were 45 offset.

My cars a 6th GEN also and i got slips in fully polished, Thanks for the picture!!!. Also thanks for the conformation on rubbing issues. Im excited now.
