    My OE's with OE sized Michelins rub on the rear at the fender lip when even moderately loaded down. Rear ride height is about 26". Rear camber is at OE max spec.

    Summer setup: OE Wheels, no spacers, 255/40/18 Pilot Super Sports, lowered on KWV3, one stop from the lowest setting (about 1 inch front, 1.25 rear).
    Winter setup: OE Wheels, no spacers, 255/40/18 Blizzaks, lowered on KWV3 to the same height as above

    Haven't had any rubbing thus far, except front wheels on steering lock, typically when backing into my driveway.
    I haven't had the rear loaded down with heavy gear / people yet to test the rears.
    No rub when going over speed bumps, and there are plenty in my neck of the woods.

    And sorry, no, no pics of the setup at the moment...

    I lowered mine with coil overs and use the stock wheels and tires (18 in) as well as my snows, without any problems. It's lowered about 1 inch. My snows rub a bit on bumps but that also occurred on the stock DRC suspension, the snows are a little bit taller than the summers tires despite the same tire dimension specifications.
