[QUOTE="mr. b_98GT, post: 15564918, member: 150353"] If you want to drop the car really low and have 18x11's out back, you will most likely have to roll the fenders or you will risk rubbing or even cutting into your new tires with the rear fenders. When I first bought my car, it was dropped pretty low on cut springs in the front and Eibach springs on the rear, and the fender was cutting into my rear left side tire from just driving it around. It had Nitto 555R's then. I put in H&R Race Springs to raise the car, and had the fenders rolled before I bought new rear tires. My set up now is 18x9 and 18x10.5, Nitto 555's 275/35/18 and Toyo R888's 305/35/18, and I don't have any issues with driving in the rain, no rubbing or damage to the tires anymore, and the Toyo's seem to be lasting me. I do drive a little more cautiously in the rain, but I haven't had any scares with the Toyo's to date. I have plenty of meat left on the Toyo's, and they have ~6k miles on them so far. Oh, and definitely get the MM low profile bolts. If you don't have 'em yet, shoot me a pm. I have them still sealed in the bag they came in from MM just sitting in my garage. I bought them and wound up not needing them (car already had them installed). Just spot me a few $'s for shipping, and their yours. [/QUOTE]
