Question for ya...

I went with the 245/35 R19s as well, but the Goodyear Eagle F1s...wondering if you have the same problem I do with rubbing on hard turns or on dips. I figure a stiffer suspension will remove the problem, and am saving up the green for that, but just wondering if you've had similar experiences. Nice car by the way!

Anwer for ya...

Yes the tires do rub slightly which I am not too pleased about. I took out the front fender bolts but that didn't help. The rears rub too. Mostly on dips and hard sweepers. I think I'm going to go the less expensive route and tuck them in by introducing camber until I can get the upgraded suspension. But its funny how much more I notice the suspension travel. I also wonder if an upgraded front and rear sway bar help manage the body roll. Hmmm....
