Wrong Tire Size? Need help please
I finally got my Enkei PF-01s, 18 x 9.5, +45 offset with Toyo 285/30/18s on all four corners.
I think the front ones are too wide for the car. There's only couple of millimeters space between the front tier and suspension.
I went with the above setup based on many recommendations on this forum. Where did I go wrong? What shall I do?
Please help.

Carbotech Brake Pads (Phenomenal Stopping and easy to swap out at track, and not ruin your factory pads). (XP10 front XP8 Rear. I believe)
Borla True Dual Exhaust: Part# 12656
Drop in filter (the blue one? AFE maybe?) '
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Dave

I've heard you are running a square setup with 285's all around... What size of wheel and offsets are u running and what tire and a sizes are you using? Do you have any issues with clearing stock brakes with your setup or fender clearance issues? Sorry for bugging you, I'm a newbie and don't want to buy something that's not going to work.
Also I've heard youve done really well in races with your setup... Would you reccomend your setup for me ( a HPDE newbie) who just plans on going to 5-7 HPDE's per year??

There's barely any space between the tiers and front suspensions. I'm able to slide a piece of paper and move it freely though when the car is jacked (fourth picture).
I drove the car for a couple of KM's and there was a winding noise at speed.
I noticed some scratching marks on the suspensions arms when I removed the wheels.

Sounds like the Toyos are little on the wide side of spec. Kumhos and Hoosiers are known to fit. There are variances between manufacturers.

Toyo was recommended to me by Vivid Racing! I assume they know what they are talking about.
I really don't know what to do now!
