I have 18x9 fronts and 19x11 rears. Dropped spindles in the front with coilovers on koni shocks, and rear koni coilovers. Don't really have any good pics though...car is still in the "build" phase. Here is the best pic I have of the front.

Re: any body running 18x8F & 19x10.5R

what spacer are you using? I have C6 wheels, 18x8.5 and 19x10. I installed 2" spacers up front, and 2.25" in the rear. I have rubbing so extreme that at low speeds, it will stop the car. I had 245/60r15 on the car before, and still had alot of rubbing. I have already replaced my whole front suspension. i don't know why there's so much rubbing. does anyone have a clue? I, of course, already had professional ( i think) alignment. and that didn't help. he didn't adjust my idler arm height, but said it wasn't necessary. do you have any rubbing?

I have 2" spacers in the front and a 4th gen rear with no spacers. I don't rub at all. And I'm LOW. I cut the lips out of my quarters when I painted the car, and BFHd the inner fender. Fronts don't come close to anything.

well, i wonder what it could be. i rub at the sway bar. I'm going to pull it, see what happens, and if I have to, find another one that gives me more clearance. I forgot to mention. I only rub at full lock when i'm turning
