so... i got my lowering springs yesterday.... but im somewhat stuck in a dilemma.
im running 245/ 50/ 16`s on my pregens, if i lower, may that cause a rubbing? or no?

I don't think so. Mine is 245/45/18 with lowering. I don't have any rubbing issue. Only rubbing issue if it is big wheel like 20" or more.

You should be fine and if you do rub, just grab a baseball bat ;-)

the camber you will induce with the lowering will allow those wheels to clear, you are fine.
