I am looking to get the eibach pro kit and 17x9 & 17x10.5 rims. I know there are people on here running this setup. Anyone had any rubbing issues?

It will work and look great! I have 17x9's all around right now and plan on 10.5's out back this year. With a 275 up front I rubbed a little at full turn but now with 245's no rubb at all.

This is with a pro kit as well. I have sportlines on my old 04 and it really wasn't much lower.

check out my album the 315's will fit no problem unless youre a "stomach puncher" like me and put 1.25" spacers on em ( used a louieville slugger to roll the fenders to get them to fit)

Seriously man your shat is tits! I tried nominating you 2 months ago for sotm but some one beat me to the punch.

OP: Dude you should be fine. At most you'll need to roll the rear fenders, but i doubt it.
