Just wanted to get a rubbing consensous of member with lowered S2000's and aftermarket wheels/tires.
This is for ANY type of driving! Whether straight line rough road or turning full with dips and humps! Any position of the wheels going through the full suspension travel!
If you do rub, reply in what conditions rubbing occurs.
TIA!

Good, thanks for sharing!
I'm mainly interested in stock fender constructions though.
Did you roll the fronts too? What about the front inner lining?

For those of you that voted for "Not rubbing at all", maybe you can write down your setups?

You know, I WANTED to get 18's but decided not to because u end up losing too much accelleration and top end speed. (SCC issue)

The GT-P's only come in 17's anyways ..and it looks just right on the car (not too big).
215/45/17s Front
235/ 40/17s Rear

Do you scrape your front a lot when entering driveways and entrances???? Cause I still cant decide if I should add the front lip or lower the car a bit when I get it (Nov). Can I do both you think, without any inconvenience???

The only time i scrape is on speed big speed bumps. And, its not even the front end that scrapes, its the height indicators. So no body damage.

To be honest, I have a metal ramp to go up my driveway cuz there's no way im making it over the sidewalk slope. And, if the entrance to whatever looks too steep, I dont even attempt to go up it...LOL. call me paranoid but would u rather fix up a scratch or body work, just to make it up a steep incline? But then again, there really isnt that many that i've come accross.

Anyways, im gonna go to sleep.....
