Getting really confusing now.
You're running 9.5 +35 front lowered and you're not rubbing. Someone else runs 8.5 +35 front at stock height and they ARE rubbing.
You're running 10.5 +35 rear and you're rubbing. They are running 8.5 +35 rear and they are rubbing despite both being Work wheels.
I guess at least for Work wheels. It would be ok to run up to 9.5 +35 on the front. But rear 10.5 should be at least +45 for the hope of not rubbing.
What's a guy to do!? Are there any setup that are not rubbing besides OEM forged F sport wheels?

Getting the right offsets is just part of the equation, you also need to get the correct tire sizes. Otherwise you'll rub even with 8.5...

When I take tires into consideration. Most people deviate less than 2% from stock in terms of total diameter. In the GS case no more than 0.4in. My buddy with a BMW 550 changed his diameter by a solid 4% or 1 inch. And he has no problem. Maybe the GS tolerates no deviation at all.

OMG, before I begin responding I would like to apologize to everyone for being MIA for the past couple weeks. I've been super busy I haven't even had the time to go on the computer let alone CL. Sorry everyone >_<
Actually shaved off whatever I could shave lol.
I'm not rubbing at all in the front, I wouldn't be rubbing in the rear if I went with a smaller size tire. I miscalculated my tire size and kinda ordered something that's taller which is causing it to rub when I turn only because of my Dynamic Steering >_<
Thank you !
Wheels size + offset I have right now is fine for the car it shouldn't be rubbing at all actually if I did not have dynamic steering. It only rubs when I turn (not too much) in the rear when the rear turns a bit the tire touches the fender. That's about it.
Thank you for paying for my next parts.
Tires ended up being a bit taller than the previous ones lol, I calculated it wrong. My mistake >_<
Thank you JOSH haha
Sorry I was very busy didn't even know there was a meet on the 29th >_<

Haha, yeah the front is missing a lip, ESPECIALLY where the fogs are suppose to be. I'm trying to decide on lip right now. I'm thinking of just getting a front lip as for now, maybe skipper think design or wald. if i go wald ill finish the kit later on.
