Your car looks awesome with those, what offset are you running? Any issues with rubbing?

It's a 23 mm offset and I have 275 - 35 - 18" hankook rs3. I have rear guard rolled as a just in case. But I Think that offset wouldn't be a problem. The front did rub slightly on the plastic inner guard liner initially, but that's been adjusted to clear.

I've just recently added 5mm spacers for a bit more poke and no probs with that.

Btw the top photo is on lowered springs and bottom photo, sitting lower, is on coil overs.

That offset with 275 definitely needs roll. Ask me how I know.

so you're running an effective offset of +18 all around now on an 18x9.5 wheel with a 275/35 tire?

I am surprised that you haven't rubbed in the back without rolling. What camber are you running?

Also be careful, it'll get you when you don't expect it. Carrying some people in the back and some bags and hit a bump. I raced my car for a whole summer with only a minor roll on 18x10.5+22 with a 275 tire and didn't scrape. Then drove some people to lunch and shredded part of my tire :/

Oops, that should say 3mm spacers, so effective offset is 20mm. I've had two people in the back and no rubbing with just normal driving, maybe with hard cornering it would. I'm running -1.5 camber in the rear.

The type of tire you have makes a difference. While the rs3 is wide, it has a very round shoulder.
