MRR GT1 wheels help
or 
? can owners share their experience please?I'm thinking of getting this wheel in 19" silver with polished lip finish,
The exact setup is:
19x8.5 F +35
19x9.5 R +45
Tire setup I'm thinking:
225/35/19 F
265/35/19 R
With lowered on EIBACH PROKIT 250, 1.4"F and 1"R drop, will I have any rubbing issues? when turning and carrying full passengers?
Thanks in advance for your replies and inputs
btw I searched but found no definite answer so I decide to start a thread

yes that wheel/tire set up would be perfect for the eibach drop.
because you're running with a 225/35 up front, you shouldnt have any issues with rubbing. even on full lock. but if for some reason you do, all you need to do is use a heat gun and heat up some of the inner lining plastic so it can be altered and just push it in with your hand creating more room for your tire to clear.
the rears would work great too.

you should be fine. I have similiar set up than yours with 235 in front and I am rubbing alittle bit only turning at high speed and going over uneven surfaces on the freeway. But then it fully dump in my front. You should stick with 225 for sure just in case you ever consider getting coilovers and slam it.

I too went with the MRR GT 1's....black with a chrome lip for my 07' Obsidian black....but i got the 20's. Setup goes like this:
Eibach springs
20'' Mrr GT1's
Full GFX kit
Car looks great and has only one minor rubbing issue. On extrme hard right turns(where you turn the wheel all the way in) it rubs ever so slightly. Other than that...it's perfect. I thought the difference in the look of the 20's as opposed to the 18/19's was tremendous.
