Since were on the subject I was wondering when on turning does the front wheel rub against the plastic lining? I was test fitting my rims 19x8.5 with 245 tires and noticed that when turning it'll rub the plastic lining.

On my car with 20's, it rubbed a little bit on the front. I don't know if it even caused any noise, I just noticed that there were rub marks there. But on the rear is where the big problem is. It wore a hole back there on both sides. Basically where your arrow is.

That's what I'm talking about. Just trying to see if everyone has that same problem or is it my tires. I see most running 235 and mine is 245.

Anyone can post some specs?????

I'm looking to run a more aggressive set up soon.

Thinking
18x9 +25ish front
18x10 +25ish rear

Lowered on f-sport springs for now

What tire size do you recommend? Will melting the front liners and rolling the rears be good enough? Or will i have to pull the rears?

What are your guys running??? specs????

+1 on the specs, I'm lookin' at picking up an IS soon and I'm trying to research to find the cleanest flush/poked setup. I'm not too worried about rubbing since I'll probably be doing some fender modification; thanks =]

I don't know if you'll get away with these width's and offset combo. You can go
18x8.5 +22ish
18x9.5 +22ish this would be very flush/almost hella flush.
The xtra 0.5" in width would stick outside the body.
