rominl its rubbing in alot of places not just the top to be honest I think it might be the design of the tire. its a falken and goes out pretty far. For wheels you can go to wheelsboutique.com in miami I got a good deal on some new rims from them, I just called them up and haggled with them. I was able to get a signifigantly cheaper price than d2autosport since I bought the rims with tires from them.

tony, like i said in the other thread, how low is your car? and maybe you can take pics on how close the wheel is to the back of the front fenders? i am very surprised, since i have 9 with 255 as well, and i lowered my car to no gap front and back. the space is definitely tight, but no matter how hard i brake (i have stoptech so if i really step on it it's no joke, the nose dive bad), i don't rub anything at all. only time i rub is when i hit bad dip where the whle car rebounce quite a bit.

the top of the wheel well i can understand, but rubbing that metal edge as well, that's surprising too, unless offset is way too aggressive?!

before I used the heat gun if I turned the wheel the tire would hit the rear fender liner with the car parked. the car is pretty low no gap. I am on s-techs which say 1.3" up front

Once again thanks guys. i dont plan on lowering my car because of MN winters so i dont think i will have a problem with rubbing. My budget is around 2-2.5k so i might have to step down to 19's. i will look into the places you all have suggested.

yup same here, when i do hard left or right turns the tires will rub the front and back of wheel wells. this is strange man.

02ku. for 2500 that's with tires i suppose, or without? tires alone are like almost 1k there

I put 275 in the back, its looks real nice but I wish I had went with 285. Just be certain in whatever size and style you go with because you'll have to live with it.....
