assumption is that scrapin happens under hard braking n heavy bumps..

so-3's dont come in 235/35/18..... but you're looking at a change in hieght of a lil less than an inch if you change over to 35 series tires.

yea its about 1/2 an inch. i agree with vosko strut sounds bad. does it oscillate over bumps? also some tires are a bit bigger or smaller than what that 1/2 once thay are installed.
