18"rims
Im am going to get rims soon (18s). And i was wondering if i should invest in a camber kit and struts first. Right now all i have is lowering springs, but im worried about rubbing and and if the camber will mess up my tires on the 18s.

Well, the stock struts aren't going to effect the rubbing very much.... how far the car is lowered, the offset on the wheels, the tire size and whether the camber is corrected or not will determine if it rubs or not. If it's a really close fit and it comes down to the struts... the only difference I can see it making is the extra bounce from the stock struts versus stiffer aftermarket ones. But as far as fitment, the struts have nothing to do with it. They'll only come into play if the suspension travels too far.

I bet he is going to put 215-35-18, 215-40-18,225-35-18, 225-40-18 one of those i bet he will put, and if he does i know he is not going to rub at all with the 2" drop !!!!!!!!!!!!!
