Default lowered plus 17x10.5 rear

Soon I will have H&R sport springs, Bilstein Stuts/shocks, 17x10.5 sized rims in the back wrapped with 315/35/17 Nitto DR tires. Will those tires rub at all with the car lowered??? anyone have pics of a lowered car using H&R springs with those sized rims in teh back. Do you have any issues if u have that set up..I want to MAKE SURE, before I order the Springs and Struts/shock first from here...I already have the rims n tires waiting to be intsalled. :banana:

:stupid:

And you really don't need quad shocks anyway. I lost 95% of wheel hop when I took mine off anyway. Not much to put them back on if for some reason you don't like them off.

Maximum Motorsports has their own line of Bilstien shocks and struts to match the spring rate of other springs. Id suggest looking at those instead of the regular ones.
