Default Would 16x8 0.offest and Tan.DF2's Rub Hard???

sup guys!!!

iam running on s-techs right now on the box

tires 205/45/16 love them looks great with the set.

i actually was visually lookin at my ride and sayin to myself.

''hmm....should i go lower?''i want to do it but the fact that iam already on 16x8's

and i have a 0 offset. not cambered. a lil rubbin only on hard or un-even pavement.

iam afraid it'll even rub harder if i drop it some more.

but then the box looks tight a bit more dropped. wanna have that semi slammed but

drivable look.

dont wanna do bag's a lil too much for my wallet.

so then i though of Tanabe DF2's. sound's great but alot of consequences.

what would you guys do? open for any suggestions.

to take in consideration that i have passengers here and there. which EQUALS more

weight.

MORE WEIGHT+16x8'S+0 OFFSET+DF2'S=RUBBING! !correct???

thanx.

I'm on S-techs, with 15"x8", 0 offset, and i rubbed like crazy till i rolled the rear fenders. If your already rubbing sometimes, your gonna rub more if you go lower, so roll the fenders or camber it and you'll be good.

Rolled fenders are a a start. Camber is probably your next best bet.

I'm running 002's in a 16X8 with 205/40 tires on a 2" drop. The rears rub on hard bumps. I have the rear fenders rolled also. It helped a little, but to get rid of the rubbing I'll have to get a camber kit. The fronts rarely rub and I have the echo front struts.
