Wow thats very low compared to my 4/6 drop!In front i´m running 265/50/15 on alcoa design wheels in 10x15 ET -45 and still the rim rubbed a little at the lower a-arm!I had to grind the lip of the arm and the fit is tight!Maybe the tire will hit the fender too when the front dives in at hard cornering or breaking!Rearward i run the same rims with 295/50/15 tires and there should be no rubbingproblems!And on top of that all the local TÜV (technical inspection) may not give his " amen " to the suspension mods because the frontcrossmember is very low and may hit roadbumps!
