Since half of the added tire height is in the wheel well I have already effectively chewed up 0.5" of the gap. I then plan to us H&R Sport springs which will lower the car 1.5". So adding the 1.5" drop to 0.5" of wheel gap I have already swallowed up I'm closing up the wheel gap by 2". At stock ride height I already heard a rub pulling into a steep driveway this weekend. So I will no doubt have issues when I drop it especially since I'm running spacers in the rear as well. That said each case is different and the quality control on these cars is not great so there is quite a variance from car to car. If you aren't hearing rub or seeing cuts in your tires then you're probably ok. But if you are hearing rub and seeing cuts on the outer shoulder of the tire you should definitely roll the fenders to gain more clearance and not cut your tires. I don't think I need to go into the obvious danger of cutting a tire at speed.</blockquote>
