Well i have a 2" drop all aorung with H&R race springs and im running 225/18/35 with a +48MM offset and i dont rub at all. The 215 shouldnt give you any problems with that offset.

whether you need a camber kit is kind of controversial.

definitely get an alignment and make sure it's 0 toe. i'm thinking the rule of thumb is like 2" or less drop and you won't need a camber kit. maybe 1.5" or less.

First you have to have your pictures hosted by either image station, wetodd racing etc etc. then use the IMG button in the tool bar to insert the web address of that particular picture location on the web and it should load.
