I WAS rubbing when I first put the rims on....but it eventually shaved the pointy parts of the liner flat....so now it doesn't make any noise when going full lock....my liners are still fully intact....its just that pointy part got shaved off eventually....no harm

18x10.5 +15 275/35/R18

I think almost everyone who did the 10.5" +15mm have the rubbing at full lock up front.

But like Steven88 said, wait for it to fix itself or you can also do the rubber mallet + heat gun trick to push the liner back if you want.

Heat liner up
Put mallet on the wheel
Have someone slowly turn the wheel to "push" the liner in/away a little bit

If you aren't concerned about rolling the rear fenders (which you will have to), I wouldn't see why this fix would be holding you back?

if anything, I feel that the 10.5 +15 aren't aggressive enough...haha I know, I'm crazy...but seriously...the rears stick out just by a little..the fronts is nearly flush...this is my current setup

18x10.5 +15 275/35/R18
rear fenders rolled
swift springs
-2 front and -1 rear
oh? so i should be ok with swift springs with -2.3 front and -1.3 rear right?

if you want to go slams....and guarantee not to rub....i'd say -3.5 or so would be a safe bet

if you just want a mild drop.... - 2 is just fine

no spacers used...just 18x10.5 +15....probably the angle of the picture gives it a visual that the rear is sticking out more...even though its not really sticking out as much in person
