How Do I Get It Even Loooowwwwer.
I did rear bolts and cranked down the front screws as far as they would go. I trimmed the bump stops on the shocks also. I saw a Vette on here once that was in the dirt 
. Does anyone know how to put my car down even lower. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same tire wheel, combo you do, and I can't get mine that low without occassional tire rub in the rear!
I had the rear this low, but had to raise it back up
I think it's because the tires slightly stick out more than stock.
You don't have this problem Ice??
