there's no way you'll rub within 1.5-2.4" drop with stock wheel! I've lowered with S-Tech which rubs because I had 18x8 ET48. But if you want to lower only and keep the OEM wheel, you should lower around 1.8"-2" and add 1" wheel adaptor to bring your wheel out a little will looks nicer without breaking your wallet.
