Only the vents in the fender liner at full lock. I'm going to grind them down a little, but I rarely go full lock. Other than that, no rubbing whatsoever The grip is amazing

295's should not be an issue...at least not with my setup. A little camber and rolled fenders should do the trick

Getting aligned tomorrow, but from the looks of the drop and how the wheels cambered from the springs alone, it's not that bad. You can actually adjust it yourself when you put the shocks back on for both front and rear.

I'll take close-up pix just for you

how does the ride feel with the 19"s compared to the 18"s???

i'm still split on whether to go 19s or stick with 18s.

well if you have coilovers you can set the rebound to its softest setting and the ride, to me, feels better than stock. but , of course if you get 19's with stock suspension, it will be a bit harsher. there is always a way to get around things like that. you just have to pay to play

compared to stock, the ride on 19" will be for the most part, rougher than stock. without suspension being a factor, the obvious reasons are that the tires have less sidewall and there is more metal to transmit vibrational energy.
