Well, I haven't settled on a front ride height. I have the car sitting where the tops of the tires are just inside the fender lip...no rubbing and it looks pretty good to my eye. That said, this isn't necessarily ideal for handling, especially if the rear can't be dropped to match without having the axle housing resting against the body of the car.



225s? I don't doubt that this can produce some satisfactory grip and I get that this is what we have to do to have a square setup... but even my daily driver Subaru runs 235s. Anything smaller just doesn't look like a performance set up.

Michelin makes a broad range of tires from econo models to slicks. Which model are you running?

What are the offset/backspace dimensions for your 17" wheels? IIRC, with a 17x8, 5.5" backspace (or better yet, 17x9, 6" backspace)you can run 255s all around.
