I am running 205/40/17 in front and 215/45/17 in the rear. I could not use the 215/45/17 in the front, the tires get stuck on the coil spring. So i have about 5 mm of clearance between the tire and the coil spring now.

do you have any rubbing during hard cornering? is your car lowered? if so, how far and with what springs? thanks
