17x8.5 with 215/40 all round. Dropped ride height by 60mm all round. The fronts now rub when turning. How can I fix this? Should I increase front clearance by swapping to springs that are only 30mm lower rather than the current 60mm drop or do I simply go for narrower tires on front to see if it increases clearance on turns to avoid rubbing. I love the way front sits but its no good when its rubbing.. any ideas will be appreciated.

I had the same issue with mine (same wheel/tire size) and bad rubbing on the front and some in the back, especially when riding with a passenger. I ended up replacing Tokico for H&R Sport springs and raising up the car a little bit. It's a 1.4" front and .75" rear drop according to H&R. No rubbing at all now, I do prefer function over looks though. I have videos of the install with before and after shots on my channel if you want to see.

Beautiful setups guys!

I really want to get 17s but I'm wondering if you all experience significantly more flat spots and bent rims with less tire compared to 15s or 16s?

Thanks for your input!
