Default Anyone have rubbing issues with bilsteins/eibachs?

I just got the new suspension put in...it's not rubbing or anything, but the front bilsteins are fairly close to the tires. I have 235/40-18s. Doesn't seem like it will cause a problem, just curious if anyone has had issues with a similar setup...

Default Same size tires for me no issues.

Your wheel width and offset is more important than tire size though...

Default Ohhhhhh...

Wheels are 18x8.5 with 30 offset. That much I know. What that means though is still foreign to me. I gotta take a class or something in how to figure out what offset really means...

I really doubt you'll have any issues then. Nice looking wheels btw :-)
