yea the car is pretty low. It has springtech lowering springs and they drop it about 1.75 inches. Parts of the exhaust pipe and the cat scrapes on some speed bumps and the front plastic under the bumper is pretty scraped up on my car. But I have not had any problems with the tires rubbing and my fenders are not rolled. The tires are 245/40/18 all around but i plan on getting 265's in the back in the future. The 245's are a little bit small for the 9.5" rims in the back but they are alright for now.

i am not exactly sure of the weight of these rims. I will be putting competition tires on my stock rims for autocrossing in the spring. I am not sure what ones yet though. So i was not really concerned about the weight of these rims.
