Rear lip rolled flat and pulled slightly. Just the right spacer. It still rubbed the trailing arm under load, but not bad enough to worry about. Pretty much everyone running this setup gets rubbing from tire deflection, unless you really pull the rear quarter out.

This is for autox, btw. I would not recommend for road racing, because I'd be worried about the longer sustained loads and potential for more rubbing at high speeds.

For some reason they look really big to me, but I like your car and stance

I think the fenders and hood are prepped different than the body. IDK maybe its the aluminum

Nope it's because of the angles in which light is hitting them. Only solution is matte paint with no metal in it to reflect light

The lighting? There is definitively a difference is the shade of white. Anyway XD's are one of the best looking wheels IMO
