Ok like most of you 17x8 with a 35mm ofset do stick out SLIGHTLY but i am paranoid to lower my car. I have a fear that it will rub the top of the fender. SO i was wonder if you do have 17x8 with a 35mm offset what spings and shocks are you using and do you have any rubbing issues?
 
As has been posted before, if you run something like 245/40/17s on a 2G, you will have to roll the rear fender lips, espcially if you have spaced out your upper rear arms to reduce camber and/or are running a lower offset than you have to.

With a +35 offset, even 235/45/17s would require rolling of the fender lip if you have done something to reduce camber.

I suggest an aluminum Louisville Slugger. No garage should be without one. ;)
