Default Tires Scraping

For anyone who has rims ( I have 18's ) Keep in mind my car is not even lowered yet. Do your tires scrape when you go over bumps. I'm real scared what it's gonna do once I lower the car. I just bought some H&R racing springs.

My thoughts: get skinnier tires or have the fenders rolled

What do you think?

it depends on your offset, width, and what size tires you're on.

chances are you'll scrape the tab in the rear fenderwell, but after you trim it with a dremel, it should be ok.

I have 18's and mine did scrape in the back. I sanded a small piece of the back bumper off that was sticking into the wheel well, just used a dremel. My tires are 225/40/ZR18 Ecsta Supras, Im hoping once I get both my KYB's and GC's back on
it won't scrape anymore, Right now its completely stock.

i would suggest using 215s instead of 225s. I used 215s on my 4th gen i dont know if that would change anything on the 5th gen but i didnt have any problems whatsoever.
