otherwise, your nismo bumper will start to look like mine:


Ouch on the bumper! I guess the only way ill know is if i try it out. The few guys i had been speaking to run a 285/305 setups on their nismos with swift springs and look like they were a little luckier. Did most of the bumper deformation get like that when you were a much lower than you are now?

Do you think rolling fenders/liner modification would have helped your situation a lot more had you been more aware?

Im still really new to this but, Does height of the tire/sidewall affect rubbing too?

Also fyi, i really appreciate all this advice you have been giving.
