I don't have any better pictures at this time(weather really sucks). If you read the above post the fronts are rubbing. If you mean the rears it looks like if lowered the fender lips might need to be rolled.

ChoiceCam00.....Tim_WS6 since it looks like both of you are running the same front tires/wheels did either of you have this rubbing on the fronts?

Thats odd...same wheel, tire, & car and one rubs but not the other? However mine is not lowered but when looking at it I don't think that lowering will make a difference though.

Anyway what do you guys think about if I change the front to a 265/35/18 in the front and keep the back at the 295/35/18? Will it cause a problem with the ABS? OR will it look dumb?

I am running a 265/35/18 tire in front on a 9.5" wide rim and a 295/30/18 tire in rear on a 10.5" wide rim. I don't have any problems with my ABS, visit my site to see if you might not like the way it looks.

Thanks for all of the compliments. I just check the tire fitment again on the front this time I decided to turn the car while it was rolling and guess what no rubbing on the passenger side and very little on the drivers side...now I feel like a jackass Would have checked them rolling to begin with but when when I was putting the wheels on the tornado sirens were going off and I decided it wouldn't be the best thing to pull the car out of the garage. What little rubbing there is I can place a piece of plastic between the fender and the inner fender to act like a shim and that should take care of any rubbing

Thanks again to everyone...and I will post better pictures once this Indiana weather clears up a bit.

Thanks. When I was at the tire store I noticed that all of their chrome wheels on display had the same imperfections on the edges of the lips....guess it is just not the same quality as you get with high end wheels. Doesn't matter when the tires are on you can see it anyway.

I have the same wheels, different sizes of tires though. I have 275/35 18's in the back and have some issues with rubbing on the rear passenger side. I suggest rolling your fenders just as a precautionary measure.

Your car is absolutely great looking. Where did you get that bra? What brand?

They only come in the offset I listed in the 18's. I knew they would be close to rubbing since the fronts are on the extreme side of the offset range @ 25mm on a 9" wheel. The more that I look at I think that lowering it will actually help the rubbing or going to a 265/35 tire would also do the trick( I think). Hopefully in a month or 2 I will be able to get some springs for it and I'll find out. Either way the rubbing is not bad enough to hurt anything.
