Thanks for ur help....
It seems a fender roll would do the trick...I'm also thinkin about koni adjustable springs or the H&R coil-over kit (tirerack says they have some for my car - Luke can u verify that?) I understand about the spring constant (I never liked physics) W/ these mods Ithink I can get the 225/45/17 to fit in the front wells. In the future I'll stagger 225/40 and 215/40. U live, u get screwed but u learn
Thanks again.
