I really want to keep them because I'm scared the car might look raggedy with the open space it shows without the fender liners lol. They rub like crazy when I turn but I can't figure out where because when I look I only see the same two holes I had before.

We have the exact same spec on wheels, definitely get a 215/40, it offers the closest to stock size for an 18 our size, but I will be going 205/40 in the future for some extra stretch and extra clearance.

(1) the vehicle complies with the minimum and maximum requirements for height of headlamps.
This means that the height measured from the center of the headlamp is not more than 54” nor less than 24 “.

(2) The vehicle has operational shock absorbers and springs and has at least 3” of suspension
travel.

(3) The vehicle has at least 4” of ground clearance measured from the frame with the vehicle on a
level surface.

(4) The vehicle complies with the general requirements for motor vehicles.
Low riders

I'm sure I meet all those requirements, dunno about the frame being 4 inches though, gonna measure tomorrow.
