sounds like u might rub a bit w/ this setup.....more so if you lowered it. congrats btw.

nah, a 215 on a 7.5" wheel and ET38 is actually pretty conservative.

I have 225s on a 7.5" ET36 wheel, ET33 effectively (3mm spacers for brake clearance).

btw kershaw, saw your ix @ Bimmerfest. Looking good man!

i was thinking the 215 tires might be an issue.

That's nearly a stock width and offset. I can't imagine that rubbing. Maybe Nando can chime in for another opinion.

I love your setup, seen pics around the forum. What's your wheel/tire/spring setup?

16x7 ET28 (205 tires), H&R sport springs + Bilstein HD's. Thanks!

Bought this on eBay from Cincinatti, flying out and then driving it back to San Francisco

Plans:
Put on tasteful 16x7.5 ET38 wheels with 215/45/R16 Tires
Put on classy trunk spoiler
Give it a Dinan Performance Chip

Drive to Spokane in the winter, Drive to Idaho for Christmas and enjoy the AWD suited roads that my 2012 Merc C350 Coupe can't do :)

Already found tons of info on here glad this community exists! Cheers
