Verified FAILED Tire/Wheel Fitments (only)

This is the sister thread to https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ents-only.html

This thread is for tire/wheel combination that are known to rub from direct experience.

Please be clear about where it rubs and include all of the needed information (see sister thread).

Please also avoid posting combinations that obviously wouldn't work (partly to prevent self-embarrassment); post combinations that seemed likely to work, but did not.

Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +15 with Toyo Proxes R1R 265/35 18 on factory suspension

Wheels: Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +15
Tires: Toyo Proxes R1R 265/35 18
Suspension: Factory KYB on Factory Springs
Alignment: 0 Toe, -1.8F, -1.2R

Rubs on dips in the rear, rubs at 3/4 lock on front in the back fender liner.

Edit: After a rear fender roll (semi aggressive), rears do not rub any more as far as I can tell. The fronts still rub after some heat gun treatment to the liners.

235/45/18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 (winter tires on stock rims and suspension) rub slightly in the front on sharp turns.

Mild heat gun to the fender liner took care of it.

Same setup on GTWorx Tarmac springs required additional heat gun to the front fender liners.

This post is not about your normal clearance issues, but a fitment issue I didn't expect.

Work Emotion CR-Kai wheels in 18x8.5 need a +25 offset for the spokes to clear the front calipers. Any larger offset and you'll need appropriate spacers. Mine are a +38 semi-concave (originally on my Ralliart) - I needed 15 mm spacers to clear the calipers on my X.
