No rubbing issues at all. I was a little hesitant in the beginning since I'm slightly lowered on springs but for the most part I knew I was going to be alright, since the overall diameter is less than OEM for front and back. Using the good ole finger/fender measurement, I have about a finger in back and about 2 in front.

Love the S04 much more than OEM. I remember thinking, when I first had them put on, these tires are a lot more quieter and smoother. I gathered this from my daily commute, you know when you have the same drive everyday and you start to remember where all the bumps and uneven pavement on the road.

No app or post processing. All pics are HDR straight from the camera. Loving it!


Some more pics, all from the quick photo shoot of my buddy's rides and mine :
