No rubbing at all even when fully loaded. One of the reasons I'm still on the wall about keeping them is I'm considering having another set of 3 piece wheels built for 255 in front and 295 or 305 tires in the rear.
Pros: I like the look of wide wheels & tires as long as they fit "right". Cons: I don't have the same WHp as my last car so it might be overkill; worse gas mileage, and possibility affecting handling characteristics by inducing more understeer dues to added traction in the rear?

, might rub, see if any body has tried it yet.

It would have been cheaper to have them just stripped and powder coated or anodized.
If I change them, it would be to a completely different design because they remind me too much of my Infiniti.

I believe 295 can be done but there is a greater difference in tire OD. A 305 matches stock OD better. I need to do more research on that fitment though. What width and offset are you ordering? BBK clearance also might be an issue if you are not going with concave again. 4 month wait is a long time!

No, I removed the spacers. They are only needed when ever I install the stock wheels so they clear the BBK.
In summary, no spacers needed on the DPE wheels. Spacers NEEDED to to clear rear BBK when using stock wheels.
