Ummm...I'm just guessing on the tire size...I'm in Afghanistan so I haven't seen my car for a while, but I think they're 235/45/18. No rubbing, not even close...The drop is 1.6F 1.4R

front springs on 4th and 5th are relatively the same, the rears differ in the bottom coil diameter,.....it's a wider circle on the 4th than the 5th's.....but you solve that by installing the 4th Gen rear strut assemblies......

It'll be too low in front it won't look right. Get some eibachs the drop isn't as low in the back.

If you are only dropping the front and not the rear, it will NOT look wierd, it will look level, that is the combo I went with after months of searching. H&R front, OEM SE springs rear, great ride too.
