I have 245/40 18 on gramlight 57DR 18x9.5 +38 using RSR sport-i coilovers

Again, hope that's meaty enough.. If not, I'm sorry I'll delete this, so far only rubbing was the right front fender and of course the rear bumbler tabs.. I raised it about a 1/4" and all seems good

If you still rub look at increasing your spring rates as its one way to take care of the problem especially when you go low

Thanks.. I didn't intentionally wanna go that low.. I'd love my stance to be just like jives.. To me that's about perfect.. Just a slight gap.. I'm just having a stupid hard time setting the ride height even all around.. I'm doing it on a inclined drive way and it all seems great, then a drive and it's off a bit, I'll try again tomorrow.. It seems my right rear is close to 3/4" higher then my left rear, fronts seems almost perfect

@Gixxersixxerman we have found that even on a level ground it with still change, settle, I would make a small change drive to the end of the block and return. Recheck its the fastest way to make the adjustment. Looks good keep up the good work. Also we are hoping to be up your way next month so we are hopping to say hi to everyone. Real love some on the LV back ground shots you guys have been posting

Can't see the pic at work. But 225? That's only 10mm wider than stock, I don't think that's really "meaty". Did you mean 255?

Looks real good, that wheel color looks nice on white.

If they were 225's I would be amazed they filled out a 9" rim so well. haha

Only thing is, not too many 17's in this thread. 18's actually look really good, but I prefer smaller wheels (for a variety of reasons).

Yeah, Rivals do seem pretty skinny. I saw this BRZ at my last autocross and did a triple-take when I saw that these tires are 255/40/17 and still have plenty of clearance! Hopefully the owner of this car is on here so we can get his wheel specs...the flat face is the one I like, as opposed to the convex/thick face (shown at end of post).

http://www.scionlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167842

Did we ever get these wheel specs? Im in love with the way this car sits

Im going to assume they are 17x9 wheels since thats what a lot of you have with 255/40 tires. Is there a lot of rubbing and about how much camber is required to not rub? Also, I am not planning on getting coilovers so what springs do you guys recommend to achieve that drop with that setup?
