And a 38 to 42 offset is enough of a difference to matter when your talking about rubbing or not.
And no the fender liner it above the tire too and goes all the way over to the fender.... So if you were low enough you would rub that.
To the op, just do it lol

To be honest I never took it on the road, becasue I lowered it down and it was hitting the fender.
Maybe having everything down and on. It would be fine, but was just seeing if I could fit 45s. Since I took wanted a little more rubber.

I know where the fender liner runs, but if it clears the fenders. It will clear the liner. But it will hit the strut perch before hitting the liner. Make sense? lol

When did I say anything about lowering car could cause the tires to hit the strut perch?

Im pretty sure I was talking about tire sizes hitting the strut perch not be lowered or not.

If the tires clear the strut perch sitting still the tires aren't going to hit the strut perch, lowered or not. Think about how a strut and spring works, and you will understand why it is the way it is.
