Only thing when you did the rears (saw your car yesterday) you could see some creases where you applied a bit to much pressure imo.

I saw your car at the meet yesterday...looked awesome! Those wheels compliment the car all too well.

Also, this might better fit in the Wheels/tires/suspension forum.

you don't have to spent money on this problem. All you need to do is park your car in the hot sun for a while, put on a pair of gloves and gently pull out the front fenders with your hands. I got an easy 10 mm of clearance that way. The front aluminum fenders are so soft, they bend like butter.

OR you could raise your coilovers a little bit, that should help.

not necessarily.

get the proper offsets and tire sizes, and you shouldn't have any problems.

18x9.5 +22 with 245/40's fit great. 18x9.5 +30 with 255/35 fit great as well. I have 18x9.5 +12's and run drift size stretch tires and they fit perfect but if you wanna run wider, say 245/40's youll have to do some pulling/rolling. But after that, your car will look super hard.

Do you happen to know off the top of your head at what offset the TEs become concave like that? Ive seen 18x9+30 and they are flat and look horrible.

from what i know, you have to have a 9.5 wheel. +9s wont do it for some reason.

Oh ok. So any of the offsets in the 9.5 width will have the same concavedness?
