lowered with 15" wheels

I am about to lower my 99 si and I am wanting to keep it on the stock si wheels and I was looking for some pictures so if you could list your drops and tire sizes that do not rub i would appreciate it.

im lowered around 1 inch all around and no issues at all with stock rims and stock 185/65/15 tires. i think anything up to 1.5 inch would not rub.

You could go real low and not have any rubbing issues mainly because you are using the OE wheels and tire size. It's when people get aftermarket wheels with the wrong offset that they usually run into rubbing issues.

I went and looked.. I'm about 1.5 to 2 drop and 17. No rub.. now there is like no wheel gap. But with my mods and it being a real stiff ride I never rub.

What is the right offset for 15x7 with 1-1.5 drop? Looking to roll fenders as little as possible if at any

i have a 98 and want to lower it but cant decide if i should go with pro kit or sportlines. I have 195/60/15 on my car and didnt know if i would have to get a camber kit if i got the sportlines or if the pro kit gave it enough lowering to look clean?
