Thanks Pal, what mod have u done to it ?? and what are the Front specs ?

[Mywifes335]

Fronts, no mods...yet. Running stock 225 PSS. Tried 235 and 245. Neither fit. Front wheel is wide and there's barely enough space as is.

18x8.5 ET45 Apex EC-7

I haven't seen anyone with rubbing issues with the 225, can't say from my experience since I didn't try them...

Can't tell either about Hankooks versus PSS being narrower or wider... for sure BIG difference 255's, only being 5mm extra on each side


Thanks!

Anyone know if 255/40/18 Michelin PSS will rub on 18x9.5 +45?

what kind of modding did you have to do to the rear shock dust cover?

Had to take an angle grinder and cut off about 1/3 of that plastic cover.

However....the front setup is an issue. The wheel itself is too wide for the EC7 offset and it seems to rub on full lock.

Getting spacers and camber plates instalked once the Vorschlag stuff is available. Spacers and bolts ready to go. Don't want to miss another track season.

So no issues with shaving 4mm of "meat" off the mating face of the wheel to disc ?
