^Are you planning on realigning the car? If you are running enough camber then you won't have any problem rubbing.

-2.5* in the front and like -3.2* in the rear

still rubbed on 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 Kumho MX's

Glad I've got coilovers. I've only got -2.5 up front with 17x9 255s all around and haven't had any rubbing yet. The only thing I have left to test is a good mid corner bump to see if it rubs.

alright guys just got my rpf's but i have a few question.. okay so im running 17x7.5 48 in fronts and 17x9 45 in the rear. the tire i will be receiving form tire rack is 225/45R17 for fronts and 245/40R17 for rears. I will be dropped on eibachs or either espliers.. wouldn't this tire setup look funny? woudn't fronts look lower than rear? and i would have to do the front fender mod too right? if anyone has this setup please post. should i go ahead and run with this setup or return the fronts for 215.. im open to suggestions! anything would help! thanks!

agreed..with that drop it rubs just a hair on large bumps. slightly throw some camber and youd be set.

yeah it rubs just a hair on hard bumps or tears up your tires at autocrosses with big dips (don't ask... shitty course). i damn near ripped the oem bumper screw OUT when the tire contacted it during a run that i had a passenger in. you can hear it hit every bump
