Got new tyres on. 195/45R15 were unattainable (local tyre shops only sell them in Goodyear F1 GSD3 which meant $210 a tyre; yeah I didn't look very hard 
) so I decided to make do with a 195/50. Got a pair of Kumho KU25 (Ecsta AST) for $99 each and I'm quite happy with them at the moment. Tyre noise is very minimal.
They don't look as good as the Falken Ziex ZE329 I have on the rears (same size) and they don't stretch as well. Rim protector isn't pronounced like the Falkens either.
But anyway, it's provided me with the extra clearance I needed, so I dropped it down another 1/2". Doesn't rub anymore
The rears are cambering out quite a bit - had a wheel alignment and got figures of -1.5 degrees... I'm a bit worried but it helps with clearance lol
Edit - duckbill clearance shot:
All day, everyday

Actually, rust in a spray bottle! Mixed some vinegar and hydrogen peroxide together with a bit of salt and it was coated with surface rust within an hour. Fun stuff.
