Great info. 3 questions:
What widths are you running front/rear?
What offsets are you running front/rear?
Are you lowered? If so, on what and how much?
Bonus - did you have to roll the fenders?
Thanks!

I read somewhere that the brand of tire makes a difference too. Two sets of the same size but different brand could still be the difference between rubbing and no rubbing. A lot of people prefer the Falkens because the top edges are a little more rounded so they give you less of a chance of rubbing, and the price is pretty good. Previously I was running on a set of Hankooks. When it was time for me to buy new tires I went with Falkens and my 19s (with a lip) look even smaller.
