XXR 550 w/255/40/18 DWS 06
Just got these mounted.
Couple things of note.
I rubbed the front inner fenders on both sides at full lock. Did the trick where you heat them up and push them in then douse them with cold water. Seems good now.
Rears were rubbing so I rolled the inside lip of both. Heated them up and used a wooden handle of a rubber mallet to bend the lip in. Caulk line is still visible so it's not an aggressive role.
Pics are from my iPhone so they're not the best.

I thought 255/40's would be a good fit but am thinking either 265/35 or 245/40 would have been better.

Update: Still got some rubbing in the rear so I went and got an alignment.
-1.2 front and -2 rear.
Only rubs on the passenger side on the biggest dips. Not sure I can do anything more to fix it.

Its the height of the 255/40 causing the issue. He needs to really roll the rear fender, or go to a 265/35. Which you should do, OP. That camber is all wrong, asking for all the extra understeer set up like that..
