Thanks for the input swarb. Another upside of going 235/45 is it helps with reducing the wheel/tire-fender gap. It'd have a similar gap as if I would have went with a 1" drop...plus I get to increase the ride height a smidge leaving room for a front lip, side skirts, rear spats and not have to worry about scraping as much...every little bit helps.

Downside is actual distance traveled vs. the odometer reading gets affected.

I guess I'm worried about clearance issues so I'd like to be on the conservative side of things...so with -2.0F/ -1.5R, XXR 17x8.75 +35 and MPSS in 245/40/17's...everything should clear from lock to lock....no rubbing when driven hard with RCE Yellows (.8" drop) right?

Thanks again!
