Hi mate, congrats for your new ride, looks $ick!!! For dropping, you MUST roll your fenders nicely then you can go till the limit w 20" eg. 245-285s in the rear and even with "25"/20 but before dropping you need to roll them.

Pics are nice but could you please show some pics from diff angels "close-up" of you rims, Asanti was always the sign of the Geeez lol Take care of you and your ride!

Looking good, Anthony!

Here's a suggestion to help with the rubbing of the tires. Get Toyo T1Rs b/c their sidewalls are rounded and get them in 245/30/20 and 285/25/20. I bet you won't be rubbing then.
I use to have the T1R but I felt that they wore down very quickly in the rears. I can get a sick deal on some PS2's would I have any issues with thoes?

The PS2's wear pretty quickly too FYI. But if you can get good deal, may be a moot point.

I have heard that PS2s have a square sidewall. They are not as rounded as Toyos. But, I think by going with 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 it'll help with the rubbing b/c the sidewall won't be as high. Another option would be to shave about 3mm off the wheel hub. I had to do this with my R10s.

Oh, another benefit to having super low profile tires is that it makes your Asantis look huge. Just try to avoid as many potholes as possible.

I would def not go down lower than a 35-30 profile. Its way to small for the amount of driving that I do and I drive to the city everyday. I had the T1R and had no rubbing issues in the front. With the Pirellis it rubs in the front on dips.
