Why did you quote on what I said and asked?

Both front and rear appear to be rubbing against the tire well plastic in the rear near the top mostly, but only when undergoing shock loading. I'm currently running -2 camber in the front and -1.2 in the rear. Don't know the toe exactly, but since I have to get an exact alignment, it looks like a bit of toe-in both in the front and rear probably as a result of me changing the static ride height in the front which I did because my old bbs wheels were rubbing my ralliarmor mudflaps in the front.

I have the 'Time Attack' look flat black with red lip with 255/40/18 Falken Azenis RT-615 tires. +30 offset, 8mm spacers in front, fenders slightly rolled (mainly to get the protruding lip flattened out) mainly near the top center. the fronts still need to be dropped another 0.5" which is how they came from JIC pre-setup for our cars on 18's. If anyone was none the wiser I could have passed these off as Ralliart Evolution R-01's. Sorry my photo taking skills suck and the car is as dirty as dirty can get .

Anyone running these with Tanabe GF-210 springs? That is what I have and would like to see how much wheel gap people have with these wheels. If you do have these wheels and those springs can you please list a tire size when posting so I know what won't rub and how certain tire sizes look??? Thanks!!

PS: I am gonna be a pest till I get the info I need.

245s are waaayyyy too narrow for 9.5" wide rims. They just look weird. Like a drift car. Perfect example is that one car I talked about earlier. Silver with bronze rims. At the track and slammed it looked good but in that pic in front of the house when it obviously wasnt as low those tires looked horribly too narrow. I would consider 255/35s but those 265/35s on that one GG MR with the bronze looked FN perfect. I just want someone to confirm that size with zero problems.

Supposedly...... No mods if u get the 30 offset and don't go wider than a 255-35-18 and spacers up front. I'll let u guys know here soon. I'm suppose to get my car back from the dealer on Wednesday. I'll give a detailed thread on the fitment and specs and multiple pics of wheels/tires in relation to the front and rear fenders.
