want to drop, but...

...afraid that since my front tires are 235 and you can actually see them sticking out a little, that when I drop, they might rub the front side panels. What do you guys think?

p.s.: here's a pic just in case

i personally wouldn't have fixed the door
i would spend the $1900 on mods...lots of them
As I see it, I would have had damaged door, but with:

1) full catback exhaust
2) suspension
3) stealin body kit
4) projector HIDs

Yes, you could get all this for $1900

$1900 for a door? Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous. You got ripped off by a F-in ton. Nothing else is hit around it. Not the driver door, the rocker panel, the rear panel, nothing BUT the door! Why didn't you just get a new door out of the Junkyard and throw it on or have a Different Body Shop throw it on. That door frame is fine too, because the seams all close the same as before so your worry about leakin was obsolete there too.

I can't believe you paid $1900 man, Wow.

Now now people, i didn't pay a cent out of it, it was all insurance. But since I didn't know how to "take money from insurance and repair myself", so i ended up fixing my door with them =/ But I needed to fix the door, since the top part of frame got bent and water would get in if it would rain.
