If I decide to do some spirited twisty driving I'm pretty much guaranteed to rub on 225/45-17's front and back I guess?
Who has sportlines on there car and has pics!

My tires rub in the rear over large bumps and hard cornering, but I noticed that it does sit lower because of my subs and my battery is in the trunk. Without those, I have no rubbing at all.

I just found a love for hard cornering on weekends, but don't want to pay for a heavy duty setup. Just for show 6 days out of the week and maybe an hour of spirited riding

It all depends on the offset of the wheels, but if we're talking about reasonable 17" wheels, not at all man.
I have the TL wheels and they are 17x8" (+45 offset) w/ 225/45/17....very flush to my fenders. zero rubbage. ever. Dropped 2".
You are prettty much guaranteed to NOT rub. Defiintely not in the front. lol. Just shave the rear bumper tab if necessary (there's a DIY). You should be all set.

It's just rubbing at the top of the fender, I think. Once rolled, I don't think there should be anymore of an issue.

Here's my car on Sportlines:
Result of cutting 1-1.5 coils in the front
The Stance:
I'm still on stock struts. I've gotten used to the bumpy ride. But like I said in my own thread, my car is a piece of crap. Hahaha.
As far as rubbing goes, I do rub with my stock 195/65/R15 tires. On a daily basis, getting into my driveway means the sound of tires rubbing against fenders + scraping my lip. Haha. Fenders will be rolled no doubt.

I plan on running 225/45-17's with a +40 offset. So does this mean with sportlines and pro-dampers I need to worry about cornering?
That and I occasionally seat 4 people in the car when taking a second couple in the backseat somewhere for diner's or whatnot

Can't say for sure. I'm no expert.
But from my experience, I have no problem cornering. The only time I tend to rub is going up any semi-steep incline such as a driveway or parking lot entrance.
I drove my car to the movies with 4 people in my backseat and 2 up front. Did not have any problems whatsoever.

No. You will be fine with a +40 offset. I am assuming the wheel is 7.5"? Even if it's 8", that's no problem at all. I have 17x8's w/ 225/45 and no problems. ever on my 2" drop (S.Tech's)
