Thanks! you are also using 235/40 tires correct? how much are you lowered? im now debating if I should get 225 or 235 for the tires, what do you all think?

Correct. I originally ordered 225/40 when I got my new tires, but tirerack called me and recommended the 235/40 because of the size of the car. I had 225 before, (they came with the rims I bought), and I think the 235 feel a little more stable in the curves. Then again maybe it's psychological. I'm on H&R springs with stock struts, lowered about 1 1/2" or maybe a little less.

so with your 45mm offset and the 235's you experience no rubbing at any time?
