Yes, Viken, I am considering that. No decision yet as I am also considering 18" Carrera 5-spokes. If I get those I think I'll put 265s on the rear, not the 285s. Sound right?

I just lowered my carrera S with H&R lowering springs and my right rear tire rubs eveytime I go over a small bump. The thing is I really need new tires so I was thinking if maybe I get something smaller than my 285/30/18 in the back it will stop rubbing. Do you think this will work and if so can you guys give suggestions on what tire size to get. Help greatly appreciated. Thanks

- Worn shocks and rubber bushings/spacers leading to bottoming out
- Alignment values are out of spec
Did you not change the shocks when you got the H&R's? Did you have a shop perform an alignment after the install?

I did not change the shocks. The car was aligned though. I know that shocks would be the proper thing to do. I just dont have the funds for them at the time. Is There anything else I could do to get around this problem or should I just buy some shocks on my visa card.

As a follow-up, I got my car back...lowered about 1.25" with new PSS9, running 285-30/18 S02 in rear on hollow-spoke turbo twist wheels. Like I expected, I'm getting no rubbing. Had me worried for a sec Viken.
