check w/ vodkarocket. I could have sworn that I recently read how he rubs a fair amount of the time, and he wished he had a different offset in the rear.

I hate to see you make a bad decision.

He was the one that I talked to and he told me he had no problems. Till I was shown a post now. But IllG35 I trust. Vod had some issues. Because there are two other people on here with these wheels and they don't have problems.

I told you from the start that if you go lower than an Eibach drop, you would need to roll your fenders and run quite a bit of negative camber.

Obviously, my car is signifiantly lower than an Eibach drop.

how much do those wheels weigh? I see that they are referred to as "light" or "hyper light."

Hahaha! Hyper Light is the name of the finish. They also have Hyper Dark.

They are pretty heavy, haven't weighed them yet.

I was unaware of that. I had others here pointing out to me your post that you were saying rubbing, etc. So who knows.

You will most likely have to roll the fenders with that offset. I don't know what tires your going with but the dunlop direeza will get you a bit more clearance becuase of their rounded profile.

Well getting those new Generals so I am not sure how the profile is on those.

Anyone have a idea how to roll the fenders safely?
