does any one's wheel/tires stick out past their fender wells any? And if so does it rub any with lowering springs? i assume that it will on some lowering kits since some seem to be fairly low. I am looking at 1.5" max and my wheels stick out slightly past fender wells.

I have Steeda Ultra-lites which are advertised to lower the rear 1-1/4" but I think that's for a GT; my V6 lowered about 7/8" and my tires are at the fender well edge and are 27-1/2" diameter with no clearance problems. I've had 4 adult passengers and the spring rates are such that I still have sufficient clearance. I wouldn't recommend lowering it more than 1-1/2" though.

Hope this helps.

I think it just looks bad to have the tires stick out like that... at LEAST fill up the wheel well before you have them stick out.

I didnt ask your opinion if you like the tires out past the fender wells or not. Im sure that everyone doest share the same opinion as you.Probably a good thing. When i purchased the wheels i was told they would be flush, but obviously after being mounted ,they are not flush. It doest bother me to much that they are like that.I would rather it look like it does than have the snoop dogg look. but if someone is going for that look so be it. I have better things to do besides run other peoples car down.
