The question is will I have to roll my fenders in order to fit 285 tires in the rear with this kind of drop to prevent rubbing?

Thanks in advance!

A saleswoman at my Dealership has her G37S with stock rims on the H&Rs and the drop looks so sweet, but she said it rubs and when her friend who's quite large gets in car...he has to get out when going over large speed bumps LOL! She also said it seems to have dropped to like 2 inches instead of the 1.5 it says.

I too am looking to pull the trigger and buy these springs any day now.

You got spacers? Have you tried to go up a parking ramp?

Curious since this was originally my first choice for the stock sport 19's.

No spaces, IMO I hate that pushed out look. Yea I go up some pretty steep ramps. Car was also towed and didn't rub. You can get up and over about anything with a lowered car, just have to know how to use angles.

btw my S-tech will be off my car and for sale in a week, I'm upgrading to coils so I can go lower in FL and a little higher in NY to make my dad happy

PM if interested

Hmm ok only tire shop I know of closest to me is Discount Tire and they don't carry them on their website. What kind of tire shop would carry these tires since they're not exactly considered a big brand?
