what is it rubbing on though? Are your fenders/quarters flared at all?

no flares, the inner fenders have all been shaved. If u knew my tire size u would understand why it rubs with a heavy load.

looks like 255/45/17 to me. Instead of shaving the inner fender lip, you could have just flared it out and you would've had more clearance.

flaring doesn't look nice imo. makes the fenders look distorted.

fn01r-c's don't come in 32 offset and those aren't 285's, they are clearly stretched.

Love this car. If you don't mind me asking, how's the fitment on the trunk? is it about the same as the VIS and Seibon? Can you post more trunk shots please?

no flaring here... best solution is just a lil more camber.

Its a discontinued trunk from Mastergrade, here are more shots of it:





wait, those were the same pix on the first page..oh well.

The fitment can be a lot better. The problem was that the prototype car they used was involved in a accident, so they prototyped it off a f#cked up car... =( and then I bought it off the prototypee.... =(

You dont need to flare to fit it...

Dub if you got the $$$ you can CNC the inner hub of your rim and / or the hub of the rotor.

I have this done with 19 x 10's with an original offset of +22. 275 wide tires. No rubbing what so ever. cost a bit to get it done, but might as well do it the right way insteading flaring / cutting fenders. I just have my fenders rolled.
