When you mentioned the sizes above, I assumed 20"s. I'm running RCF 10" wheels in back with a 41mm offset and 295/30/19s S-04. Not lowered nor will I ever be. Fenders are rolled flat. I will rub when going fast on an extreme bump. On normal streets and the freeway I'm fine. I will rub with adults in the back seat on less than extreme bumps. I luv the setup. With the USRS bushings and the F-Sport rear bar, my F now handles like a slot car. I luv it.

really eh? just cause ive seen guys on this forum that use the same set up and claim they dont rub at all and theyre lowered kinda confuses me.. One guy from a tire shop here mentioned stretching a the back tires to 255

You can do as you'd like... mine are 19's... but I can tell you from my personal experience that I can rub on large bumps or with adults in the back seat on moderate bumps and I am at stock height in the rear with my rear fenders rolled flat. Without passengers, I just avoid big dips/bumps and I will not rub at all. If you're going to be lowered, you would rub more often as the previous owner of my wheels did.

Thanks Lou the rear picture was the one I was looking at 6 months ago that convinced me to get a S4play diffuser your car looks great. I took a silver one for a drive before i bought a graphite one. Would have bought the silver but to high Km,s. What brand tail lights are they cheers Neill.

^^^^No just the red area is smoked. Actually, I bought them that way. But the smoke is paint not film.

Guess ill wait for the tire shop when i bring it it.. Weird alot of the guys with +35 +45 offsets in the fitment threads on here claimed they didnt have to do fender mods and or any rub.. Thats why i wanted to ask.

https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wh...-3-custom-rims

Thats a source from another site, the owner says he doesnt rub same offsets wider tires lowered on coils

Thx guys. Correct, it's the Greddy ti kit. The exhaust was kind of a process to get it all installed correctly. The drivers side O2 censor points down towards the ground. I threw a cel about 1 day into having it. Turned out that the O2 censor was hit by something so I Had to get one of those 90 degree O2 adapters to tuck the censor up as opposed to pointing down. Also, th oem cats are tapered so there was some confusion over which gaskets to use, I.e. The Greddy supplied ones ore the oem crush gaskets. We used the oem crush baskets because there was a nasty leak with th Greddy ones. Worth the headaches tho, I really like the setup.
