I figure the surface of your sidewalls are sitting 26mm out further than mine, a full inch, they must actually sit outside the wheel well a little!

Looking horizontally, the tops of my front tires are actually tucked under the wheel well lip about a 1/4 inch, and you can barely stick a single finger between the edge of the tire tread and the wheel well liner at the closest point... I also only have about an inch and a half of travel on my shocks before they bottom out, even with the bump stops cut short, so I bottom out real easy if I'm not careful...

Yea I have a good inch and a half to 2 inches between tire and fender. Which is why only large bumps cause scraping... BTW, I only scraped in the rear, never once in the front. My Summer set up is pretty much completely flush.

Sorry but these are the best pics that I have of the summer set up:

Yep, you're flush alright! I guess we either have a choice of going with wide wheels/tires or a low drop, but not both! I sure hope narrower tires eliminate most of my scraping, I'd really hate to have to go through installing taller springs or spend the money to buy different wheels... but I probably won't be needing new tires until sometime in 2011, either... Thus, the scraping continues! :boxed:

OK, sorry for the threadjack, Imageex... and, I love your new "paint job" - you're a star, lol!

No worries haha. This is actually of interest to me because I want to go wider eventually

There's some more shots of my car. I'm going to be putting the on the DF210's on the 19th
