Rear 295/30r22 with a 1" drop?

Anybody running this set up? I currently have a 295/25r22 at stock height but the gap is huge. I plan on doing a 1 inch drop all around so I'm wondering how it will look and fit with a 295 30 and a 1 inch drop. I included a picture of how it is now. The offset is +35

What is your offset? the wheels I have are +35 offset and are right at the fenders. And a picture or two would be much appreciated.

FYI

I am running +35s 10.5 wheels with 315 rear tires on a 1" drop. I set up my gopro camera one day right on the back wheel, did some hard launches, hard 1-2 shifts, tight corners etc. never came close to rubbing.

Awesome!

But are you sure you only want to lower it 1"? I only wanted to lower my car 1.25" until I saw the gap it left between my tire and fender. And now I have to pay to have it lowered again.

Food for thought, do it right the first time......

It looks like there isn't much gap from the pictures in the caliper thread. But yeah I was thinking about that as well, how much gap would be there still when I change the tire height and lower it only 1 inch.

I can fit 2 fingers between the tire and the fender. Where are you located? You can always come and take a look at my car and you will know what 1.25" looks like.
