Im trying to find a solution to get rid of my rubbing >___<
Solution is the heat gun approach, the rubbing is with the inner fender liner which is a plastic piece. Fix is take your front rims off, locate the area where its rubbing, heatgun and with wet towel push it back. Supposed to be a quick fix but I didnt get time to do last summer.

I didn't have any issues with vibrations or wobbles since I put them on BUT I did have vibrations along with other issues after my valve spring broke. Dealer**** fixed the issue but car has never been the same. That's a seperate issue I have to update CL team on in the Valve Spring recall thread.

Thanks bro.


Glad I listened to you bro, Thanks again for all your help.



No Fender mods, just running a H+R Spacers 5MM up front. There is light rubbing on full turns but nothing major. The HR2's are very classy and sweet man, going Silver or Chrome?
What is H+R Spacers 5mm up front?

Spacers are used increase the gap between rims and brakes. Some rims do not fit flush onto the hub to clear the brakes, so it requires a spacer. Also in my case the studs were to small so I required to get longer studs to get about 5 turns to properly mount.

Most get spacers installed even if their rims fit and the reason is a better stance and flush look on the car.

Looking good man. I've seen some ugly AWD setup's but these rims are very complimentary to the car.

How do you get such a nice offset? Is it the width of the 20's?
I have them in 19's, same tire sizes as far as tire wall and with is concern, but did not have an aggressive stance. I had to install 10mm spacers to get them to come out a little!

Also, could be because of the negative camber once the car is lowered?

The more I look at those GT1's on other cars, the more I wish I had gone for 20's.

The F-Sport springs are just enough drop to take away that 4x4 look, improve your handling drastically with no vibs\wobbles for most the AWD crew. Sacrifice in ride quality will always occur once you go larger then 18s IMO but I must admit the Falkens made a huge difference.
How much did it cost for you to get the f sport springs put in?
