    Yeah without a doubt it needs to be lowered. You can go with suspension techniques 2" drop springs from nope for $97 get a pair of front Koni special struts for $212 from www.shox.com and you can save a few bucks and run tokico H.P.'s in the rear for $119, also from shox.com If ya want you could run the koni's front and rear instead.

    Yeah 205/40-17 tire size is perfect, and if you've got a offset on the rims between 40mm to 45mm, that would explain why your rub free.

    those wheels look great, and go well with the car. Only suggestion might be to repaint the centercaps black or colormatched to the car.

    They looks damn good on it, but Jim and Jigga are right, you need to put that biatch on the grizz-ound!
