So I got smaller tires put on, 235/40/18. Falken 912's in the front and Pirelli P0's in the rear.

Check out the different in stretch, despite having same size:

maybe i should try this cause i have absolutely NO clearance in the front... i dropped the bak as low as possible but it doesnt satisfy me i want it lower lol the front i can still go low but im rubbing like crazii... i might have to try that size cause im running 245/40 all around. maybe that would help my rubbing situation

Wheel gurus would be able to tell the distinct difference compared to a real vs replica.

The guru himself!

The center caps give it away too haha

Loop, your car was the reason I changed my car from this:

Absolutely loved the clean, dropped, stock body look. Never going back to body kits again haha

Yeah the front is problematic, have you gotten the front fender trimmed, or rolled all the way?

Seems like 235/40 will make it clear as it sits now, but it won't be enough by itself if you want to drop the front end more.
