          ehhh... coilover would pretty much be the only option. I have H&R race springs. Maybe order koni adjustables & GC coil conversion? I still see an issue in the front though. grinding the caliper carrier down sketches me out but I know of one guy on here rocking them ground down. I could go down in tire size but I want grip. the only viable option in tire size would be dropping to a 205-50 as there aren't options even worth looking at in a 215-45/50. I hate stretch by the way.

            what am I looking at here? roughly 12.5-15 mm of stretch depending on the tire, correct? it doesn't sound that bad on paper but I'm curious how much it affect performance, when switch from a 225-50 to a 205-50, on an 8" wheel.

              On the rear you can fit stiffer 2.25 or 2.5" coilover springs with just an adjustable perch, would recommended stortened shocks though. I do the same on mine to stop rubbing, and I have about the same tyre to arch gap as you.

              Try some spacers up front before grinding the caliper as spacers are easily reversible at least
