Planning to test the current setup at Thunderhill before disassembly, fixing the aero kit, and more power.

That's meaty no doubt, looks great. Just seen your journal, pretty neat stuff this new electronic coilover business. Suprised you were able to get such large tires to fit well with no issue.

Wow that's ballsy. Like really, it takes balls to run square tires that are known to rub even in a skinnier size. Any rubbing, what are your camber/height specs, and what body pieces have you modified (if any)?

MPSS are known to rub in 245/35 and 255/35 but he got 265/35R18 MPSS which has the same tread width as 285/30R18 Ventus V12 (both 10.1"). That's ballsy. I'm wondering what settings/body modifications were done to make them fit and if they rub. What part don't you get?

I wouldn't say there were no issues, but they were minimal.

The front fender definitely has to be rolled. The front mounting tab where the front bumper meets the fender has to be pulled out.

The rear bumper needs to be trimmed on the inside just like everyone else has mentioned. I certainly wouldn't go any wider than this on stock fenders. It's a lot of meat.
