I'm down 1.5 inches and I rub at full lock of the wheel. I run 275/40/17 Fuzion ZRI all the way around on 17 X 9 Chrome Cobra Rs.

hold up now guys, every car is different. i have AT LEAST a 2" drop with my sportlines on an 18x9 wheel and 275/35/18s all around and i dont rub at all on full turns. only time i rub is when im driving spiritedly on a turn and hit a bump. then i rub hard.
