Tom, I think you must have the "Harry Potter Turbo" that adapts to any and all mods without problems. Mikelly on the other hand seems to have the opposite "spell" on his car. {No offense meant Mike}

I like the harry potter good spell theory. Anyone know that spell? =)
Actually, I do see a benefit from lowering the car. As it sits w/o lowering, the radiator buldge in the fender is at the widest part of the wheel. Lowered, there would be more clearance to the front. Still, I'm suspecting that Tom and Mike/I are at two ends of the spectrum with regards to wheel location within the wheel well. I'll have to see if the allignment experts can shed more light on that tomorrow...
I want 265s, on 9" rims, to fit also!! =)

I have the same wheels on my GT2 and also get tire rub on the front fender lining very lightly but only at full lock. Not a major issue for me at this point but may eventually reinforce or modify the area later.

I have a significantly modified suspension from stock (JRZ shocks/ custom spring rates, cup and ERP components etc) and thought that was the basis for my slight rub in front. Good to know I'm part of the club. It should be easily resolved though as it's really not too bad.

lowering your suspension will give you some clearence also check your caster. I am having to replace my front fender liners due to my suspension being set with too much caster causing them to rub through.
