Swapped out the 195/70's on the front for some 185/60's. They don't rub anywhere near as bad anymore but at the same time they don't look quite as nice, since they don't tuck up into the fenders. Oh well.

That did drop an inch of ride height just from the change in sidewall though. Here's a Lego samurai standing under my frame rail. There's about a finger's width between the sword and the frame.

And the front mudflap. It scrapes if I take a turn too fast haha. It's about 1.5" off the ground

The oil pan is currently around 2.5-3" off the ground. I'll definitely be getting a skid plate with my next paycheck.

Yeah, speed bumps don't really happen with this car anymore. It's funny. My wagon is now fairly impractical, and my MR2 that's set up for autocross is more streetable haha.

NOT a good idea unless they're XL-load tires! I hope the load index is at least that of the original tires
