just to clarify, the pro kit is a 1.5 drop. the sportline is the 1.8 drop.

I've got 235/40/18 tires. I am also dropped somewhere in the area of 1.5-2.0" on Apex'i World Sport coilovers. I am rubbing a bit in the back when I go through dips and a little in the front when I am cornering hard on uneven ground.

I also had to CUT out part of the rear fender wells, just the part that is rolled up in there, because rolling the fenders is not good enough. I cut out a small portion, like 1/4" all the way inside, but I need to go in and take out some more because I still barely hit in the rears, and I don't think I can take out anything in the front.

These tires fit awesome on a stock suspension, or if you have a super stiff suspension you will be fine, but if you have some play in the suspension, like I do, you will rub.

And my rims are 18x8 w/ +40 offset.

But look at how mean this stance is...

225/40/18 here with pro-kits with no trouble. I think any rubbing will be minimal.
