OK guys so I have a question for ya. For the guys with aggressive setups; are you running your fender liners or not? And can anyone here post pics on how they got there setup to work/fit(fender pics).
I'm asking cause now that I'm so much lower; during super aggressive driving I'm rubbing and b4 I wasn't. During daily city driving the car is fine. I have a fender roll with a slight pull, but I have all my plastics in place and tabs. I would like to see some pics of some clean fender work b4 I chew my **** up, so I can get an Idea. For example of how much to shave the tabs or whatever needs to be done. What better place to ask than here. As far as jacking the car up and compressing the wheel with a jack just to see exactly where its rubbing; that's getting done tomorrow. I just want some visuals b4 I start getting to work on the car. I did search and the only pics I found were of Imputs car; who funny enough had the same color car with same rims. But he literally shaved the fenders and I don't want To do that.

Okay guys I'm new to whole rim fitment but I was looking at xxr 522's (yes I know they are cheap but I don't want to buy expensive then scratch them and car later) but what fitment should I get and what offset?

My rear bumper is lined up to the fender and some of the liner has been removed in that area to avoid a jagged point.
I'm running no liner at all in the front, full liner in the back.
On my old setup (18x9.5 on 225/40 and 18x10.5 on 245/40), I didn't rub at all in the front. I only hit the sidemarkers on full lock. The rears rubbed against the bumper tab until we pulled it out and did a little bit of cutting. I'm currently running a setup of 18x9.5 on 245/45 (I think?) and it rubs on hard bumps and full lock only. My new setup coming up, I have no idea.
Hopefully this helps.

Can anyone give me some insight? I posted a thread but have not come to a final conclusion.
I want to run 18x9.5+22's with 225's but at stock height.
When i purchase my fd this summer or next they will be transferred over, but in the mean time id like them to go on the 8.
anyway, i was told i would clear the rears, but i would stick out in the front, is someone able to tell me how much i would be sticking out? i heard 5/8" and 1/2" on my thread.
thanks, i was looking at the Varrstoen 3.3.1's btw.
