Right now I'm running 18X8.5 et. 30 front and et. 20 rear. Running Falken FK452 215/40.
From the top of fender to ground is about 22 inches front and 25 inches rear. Trying to lower the rear more but rear are rubbing pretty bad so it won't happen until I stretch more.

I ran a set of staggered 19's before this. Interested?

hella reverse rake. Are you sure 22"? That's pretty low especially for that size tire. What suspension are you running?
And no, not interested in 19s. I can barely afford the 17s I own.

Yeah. I'm 100% sure. FYI though, I CANNOT take any passenger! Even then, I still rub when I drive on freeways by my self. LOL.
I'm running H&R Ultralow coilovers with the RSS perches.

I'm debating whether to raise it a little since I'm not completely digging the tires tucked inside the fenders.

How low is your car from fender to ground?

I didn't know they could go that low. My car's a little bit under 23" front and back. I'll probably put the 20mm spacers I got on my stock rears for now so the back will need to be raised a bit.

They say it should be able to go up to 4.5 inches down.
Honestly, since the rears aren't as low as the fronts, they don't look that low at all.

Are your front fenders rolled?

I took a metal pole and rolled them for about 2 minutes. It made a noticeable difference and I don't rub on full turns any more.. but I just have my stock 16s on now.
Phil, you're not.

Here's what I would consider a good example of this. See how the wheels are poking out in the back? Tires need to be stretched to allow that. Offset and width determines how far out/in the wheels will be.
So basically if you want a good stance and to be consider stretched, poked, rubbin dubbin you'll need coilovers (or bags, modified springs/struts, etc.) and set them low, fairly low offset and wide wheels, tires that are too narrow for the width of the wheels and chamber that will cost $$$. If you don't understand stance at all then I don't know what to say.
check tyrestretch.com for more stretched tires pictures.
