You mentioned that they rub. Do they rub in the front or the back? I just ordered 20x8.5 all the way around and will be getting the Tanabe springs as well. Most people that I talked to said that they would not rub at all front or back. Anxious to see if yours rub in the front or not. Thanks man. Car looks great!

It's not that bad and it's just rubbing on plastic lining in the front. If you go with 30/25 series you shouldn't have rubbing issues at all but with the NF210's you'll have a larger gap.

You gotta have 400lbs in the rear for it to rub in the rear.

Overall Review (approx. 2000 miles)
After a few alignments and road force tests I am still experiencing slight vibration issues at higher speeds (60-80mph). I cannot find the root cause to the problem. I think it may be the tires or the differnece in weight of the rear and front sets of wheels/tires.
I do not believe the rolling diameter specifications that Dunlop states on their website and on www.tirerack.com for the tires that I purchased were accurate. I have not physically measured my tires but in my garage the front tires appear to be slightly larger in diameter than the rear tires. This would definitely effect the front and rear % difference.
When time permits I plan to experiment with signficant tire pressure differences with the front and rear tires to try and alter the rolling diameter.
Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
