Q50 Red Sport 400 RWD
Sent you a PM reply. Btw, I don't think you will have any rubbing issues with 35 series tires. I do have my lips rolled in the rear, but it was not in response to rubbing. I did it before I was lowered as precaution. I think it is pretty much agreed upon that 35 series tires with z/cpe suspension = no rubbing. The only way you would rub is if you had 3 200 pounders in the back and a couple boxes of heavy shiit in the trunk. Even then, you should be ok.

BTW Coach, the tires are BS RE050's front and Falken 452's rear. One or the other is ELL OH DUBYA DEE!! I'll probably get a summer out of them, then replace them in spring, unless I stumble across a wicked deal in the meantime.
You're right. they are a little longer....approx 1/4". Funny thing is I've had them both on and off a few times and there was absolutely no difference in the stance until I cut my mount springs.

Thanks for the very informative PM!

I'll have to compare to Kevco's car tomorrow and see if there's any difference between my coupe rears and his Z rears in terms of gap.

I do run a slightly smaller 245 40 18 outback to offset the "reverse rake" and with my 20mm spacers I rub on rolling bumps. Hoping to fix that tonight though. With my tires I bet our gaps are quite similar.

Also, had to flip my NEW tires on the rear already to even out the wear due to the bad camber damage. fronts are good but I guess a rear camber kit is must for even a small drop.
