Oh, and I don't intend on rolling my fenders. Shouts to Slappy_ for helping doing some research on specs!

Something is off with those wheels. They look like old school Benz wheels, not a great look for that car IMO.

your offset is the problem. 25mm offset is wayyy to wide for our cars, thats why it rubs. you need likea 35MM or up.

thats the offset of like a 350z or g35. i think i saw your car at the towers or something, its the one with all the decals in the windshield right?

Sorry but I have to disagree with you there. You can go lower than 25mm, johnnyboy ran 22s before no prob

Actually, you can rub at stock height. I have 20x10's on the rear with a +30 offset and when I first got them, I put 275's on. It rubbed at stock height even with rolled fenders. I had to put 255's on there to correct it, otherwise I could never lower it. Even at stock height, it rubbed most of the way down the sidewall.

LOL - you've obviously never seen johnnyboy's car in person. His fenders rubbed the lettering off the sidewalls of the dunlops you see in the pictures above. Some people care about rubbing, and some (like johnny) don't. But you can't say he ran them "no prob."

what are the wheel specs on these volks along with the color finish? What size tires are you running? I don't know if these are the same wheels in your sig because they look gunmetal, not magnesium blue. I just wanted to double check! Where is a good place to buy volks? Sick car and it even looks better now!
