Default 285/30-19 maxed out to the lip, NO Rubbing.
MikeGS4PE,
per your request, here's the set up, what it looks like and how it fits:

1) Wheel: Enkei Phalenx 19 x 10, offset +38
2) Tire: Michelin Pilot Sport 285/30-19
3) Pics labeled "High" are 26.5" from ground to lip, 1/2 tank gas.
4) Pics labeled "Low" are 25.5" from ground to lip, full tank gas + 75 lbs in trunk.
5) Inner lip shaved with a belt sander (80 grit) to a width of 1/2 inch at the top.
6) Does not rub, PERIOD. Clears by 1/4" between sidewall and lip.

#1- Side view High

#6 3/4 view low. The yard stick is almost level indicating that the top of the tire is almost dead even with the bottom of the lip.

Geez rominl, you don't have to be so loud about it. RMMGS4 has been trying to lose a bit of weight and he's sensitive about his rears.

Your wheel setup is sweet. I love the custom 'L' center cap too.

Hey, are you guys hitting Auto Innovations for Xpel? I remember Synergy talking about doing it. I have to find time to get down there to pick up some too.

Thanks Neo!

I forgot to tell you guys that we will get 35% off on the first order of X-pel. This is even more than the 25% off offer we have from the meet flyer.

I am setting this up soon. One shot deal, first order only. Goes back to 25% off after that. I heard there were around 6 people interested at the Nor-Cal show and they we're supposed to contact me, but so far I only heard from two people.

PM me if interested.
