well with a full car load on my way to chris's house to work on cars today I experienced some rubbing on the turns and big bumps. it was confirmed by finding tire dressing on the fender lol

my setup: volk te-37s 18x7.5 +45 offset w/ 215/35/18 nitto555 extreme rubber lowered with goldline springs on the tokico struts.

the front has no problems, but the rear with a full load will rub with this setup. just thought i'd let everyone know :D

Me thinks this thread is a thinly veiled plot to post pics of your car again to rub all of our noses in how good it looks. lol.
 
lol thats not my purpose of this thread (seriously)

I have told ALOT of people that I didn't have rubbing issues with my set-up and I just wanna let them know that I actually do :D
 
hmm u and jarrett should do your fenders together. his BBS rims will give him hell now, esp since its 225

But only when fully loaded. I told ya you would have to watch that with +45's. Then I had Justin trying to tell me you can slam a Pro with 18" +45's the same way you can with stock wheels. Strangest thing. I have 18" +45's and I had to roll my fenders when I got the Teins.

Guess I just must be doing things wrong. lol.
 
damn you and your sexy car too...I really wish I could afford things like rims and FMIC's and everything my baby calls for...alas, I have enough trouble affording her premium gas these days...poor girl, I try so hard to not neglect her...But I must continue to pamper her on my low buget. She gets what she needs, and soon I will be able to pamper her a little..but not much..then I can worry about rolling fenders cause of rubbing, or all th joys of mods:D
 
.. Well s***.

Though I guess it's not that big of a deal, all things considered. After all, if it only rubs when you have a full load -- which I assume isn't all that often -- it's not like it's gonna be rubbin' on a daily basis.

I do have my subs in the trunk, tho'. But they don't weight all that much.

Oh, **** it. I'll roll my fenders if my 18"s start to rub after I drop my MSP, haha.
