Maybe you put the springs in upside down, so instead of lowering the car 2" it lifted it 2"











....I jest

you are right, in the pics he is not dropped. He stated that when installing the springs, the stance seem off up front (up 2")

Quote: On a stock suspension that's running at the correct ride height, you won't rub. That tire is .3" smaller than stock so you should have at least an inch of clearance between the tire and the wheel well. The offset wouldn't matter, as it will only tell you if you're outside the wheel well or not, but you should be well below the wheel arch regardless. If you're rubbing, and you're not lowered, then something is wrong with your suspension. I can pretty much guarantee it.

Take some pics and maybe we can see if there's a problem. And measure from the ground to the highest point on the bottom of the wheel arch. From what you're saying, it's going to be around 26", the same height as your 26" diameter tires, which is at least an inch lower than stock ride height. You may not be intentionally lowered, but that doesn't mean your springs are functioning correctly.

BTW, I agree with you on the rolling. If in doubt, just get them rolled.
they only rub with a full car of people or when going over a speed bump to fast
i dont care about my springs and shocks that much right now im getting coilovers soon
