I have 245/40R18 Dunlop DZ101 tires on them. I should have went 255/35R18 and probably will next time I need to buy tires for it.

I'm not sure how much lower than stock it is. It sits 24 3/4" from ground to the fender. I'm going to guess a good 2 1/2" to 3" lower than stock
And you have no rubbing issues on the fender or strut perch?
