Thanks for your input guys. Ill try some 185/45/15's i think, see how they are and if they're still rubbing i'll trade my 15's in for some 14's.
On a side note, what are your 2+2's like under acceleration? I get a lot of rear wallowing and sag. If that's not inherent, what spring/shock combo can i replace the old ones with? I apologise for my ignorance, but i'm willing to soak all you've got up!
