my car is dropped almost 2 inches with a +34 offset and 285 tires. Even with an extreme camber I was rubbing like crazy, once the rear fender wells were shaved problem is gone, no matter if the car is packed.

tpms will keep flashing. nothing you can really do about it. For some reason mines hasn't stop flashing yet. After a while it's supposed to stay on, maybe I should drive my car more. =P

lesper4, you may want to pm deedubb about getting your car done...looks like it may make your setup work. Then you wouldn't have to worry about giving up your wheels.

lookin good mike! I wonder how much they shaved off. Like i said im running 9.5 +34 with a 275 tire and my car sits much lower than yours. I still dont rub at all. I even had my camber fixed a lil and I still dont rub with 2 full sized people in the back. Check this picture out:
even at that height I still didn't rub. Im thinking they need to shave off more.

It is the white plug on the left.
If it did stop you and you have TPMS sensors in the wheels they just needed to register to the car.

to add to that question any tips on restoring a set of wheels & what would be the ideal size(dimensions) tire for a 18x8+43 and 18x9+44 set of volks
Oh & excuse my ignorance but why exactly do you all go w/a biggger sidewall height for front tires?
