thanks to anyone willing to save my sanity!

You'll rub on full lock in the front for sure.

I barely make it into this thread, some of you guys with the 2017 models are KILLING it!

My setup: 17x9 +35 RPF1s w/ 255/40 RE71Rs.

Is that due to the 2" of lowering on top of the wide wheels/tires? I have 18x9.5 +45 square and haven't ordered tires yet. I'm only lowered maybe an inch on RCE T2s. Are there rub issues with that setup or just when excessively lowered?

I didn't end up shaving anything. 18x9.5 with 265/35. I didn't go that low though. Tein flex z with stance v2 lca. I did rub at lock in the front though.

How low are you and what is your setting on your Flex Z? can you post a close up pic fender to your wheel? Appreciate it.

I didnt go crazy low, probably just a little bit lower then what the coils come as. Ill. Try to find a pic close up. There was more fender gap up front then the rear due to the added drop of the stance v2 rear lca's.

I cant take a new pic. Took all thw parts off and put the stock ones back on and sold it

I've been rolling around on this for a few weeks now:

18x9.5 +38 Work Kiwamis
255/35/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports
KW V3 Coilovers
Velox LCAs, toe links and camber plates

Camber is -2.6 all around, no rubbing or trimming.
