Looks great - are they flush with the fenders, or do they stick past them a bit?

And Gloss Black.

Fronts stick out a tad like 3-4mm, backs are perfectly flush

Gloss Black is my pick right now, it goes with everything

Thanks

I snapped a pic of the flushiness and poke withe the 245s

I'll probably add some camber bolts in the front and 5mm spacers in the rear when I lower it next weekend.

Front:


Rear:

Uhh... Look at the top post, I think I already had all the angles covered bro

I tried my best to put the car in a situation to rub, even when i went over a hard dip or bump fast, with 3 people in the car it did not rub for me, with the 245, i would say it would be safe to go to 255 at stock height. this is on a sportback, so it might be different for a sedan, because the way the bumper meets the fender.

I don't know how yours didn't rub. I test fit mine and they definitely rubbed. I had the exact same setup as you. 2011 RA SB with 2011 Evo X GSR's with the OEM Yokahoma 245/40r18's... Interesting...

Huh I never rubbed with 245s at stock height, I know some tires vary in sizing brand to brand. I'm on eibach Sportlines now and only had to get them mildly rolled in the rear not to rub, I live in the mountains and carve some pretty twisty roads daily, and have only rubbed once on a huge dip in the road at about 55mph.

Here's a pic to show the fit with the drop The rears are only rolled at like a 45* angle no where near flat, an no pull. I even have room left, so I'm gonna get some meatier 255s in the spring

When I read they would rub at stock height an even with 235s I was scared but when I put them on with the 245s It was like a monster truck so there was no way it would rub, maybe there is a difference from my 2010 and your 2011

I got some more pics today that show the rear and roll

I'm sitting on eibach Sportlines 1.7 drop F&R

If you look real close with the brightness turned up you can see the rears are barely rolled
