I have lowered my car to 1.7" everywhere with Intrax and stock shocks, and i have the 205/40/17 and when i take 90` angle, i think i rub my tires, because it is about a finger of fender gap, espesially on the rear, so what do i need to do? i am not really into rolling the fender.

BTW, after i lowered my car, i decided not to put the body kit on it, but put the stock bumpers back on, and now i am looking for a lip.

I will post pictures of my car, when i will re-paint the bumpers, and finish with the camber, put the lip on and solve the problem with rubbing my tires

why dont you want a rolled fender lip? i think it looks pretty good. considering you dont see it really. i think my friend will have to do that sometime to his car because its pretty low. says he doesnt rub tire, but we'll see if that top of the sidewall wears away.

Please tell me you punched in the wrong numbers. Those tires are WAY to big and would definitey cause tire rubbing.

Enter in the stock size and the size you have HERE (http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html) to see the difference
