Im planning to put 5mm spacers in front and dumping the car a little more to make the tires tuck.

He rubs because he is using 245/35/20, 275/30/20 tires and lowered on H&R springs. To help with the rubbing, he can rolled the fenders or get lower profile tires.

I am currently running 245/30/20, 285/25/20 Vredestein Ultrac Sessenta tires. Ride is nice with these tires so far.

Oh i see... but arent you a little worried about hitting the LA streets in a dumped car with really low profile tires? I swear LA streets are the worst, it's like driving on the moon with craters sitting everywhere.
