Jeff B has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I would recommend 40's instead. I have that same size tires on my 01 coupe and its lowered about 1.2 inches and it rubs in at least 3 places.

yes they will rub. i have the exact same wheel size and was dropped 1.9"-2" ish all around and my rear wheels would rub. i had to set the rear camber kit a little negative so it doesnt rub against the fenders and raise the car higher on coilovers. or you can roll the rear fenders but your front wheels will still rub in some places.

but the race springs are 2.25" i believe? they will rub. when you make a sharp turn, your front wheel will run against the front fender well. i'd personally with with a 40 series imo.

If you roll your rear fenders you would be fine there, but you would rub when you make a hard turn on your front.

I had 215/40/17 on my car with Nuespeed race springs with no problems. However, I always did I have a camber problem so I don't know if they will rub with corrected camber.
