The reason why it rubs is because you chose a lower offset. If you pick a higher offset, you won't have any rubbing issues.

if you're gonna roll the fenders, just keep the 275's.

i honestly don't know. they won't tell me. i got them made and they measured my car and all that crap. All i know is i think i got the perfect offset hehe cuz i lowered my car so that it tucks about - .5 finger in the rear and it clears the tires perfectly.

*edit* sorry I am running 10 not 10.5

I called Mackin and they told me et37 is fine...i guess the tanabe springs lower the rear alot more then the eibach. The yokohama tires are not round on the sidewalls either...gonna dump the front and rear some more so I guess 265 is more practical.

New Element114 wheels in Advan gunmetalic color. These are true 3-piece wheels with some of the best quality finishes I've seen.










....sorry, not full shots of the car until it's done....

The car has gone though Kreuzers, Works, Advans, now these..... Since this is an Element car, these will stay on for awhile.
