I say this because it effects bikes, why not cars? I want wider rims but I sorry about 9-9.5 being too wide. Plus you have to worry about scrubbing and clearances.
The car doesn't feel any slower in a straight line... it's always been slow and still is. The car does have too much grip now and isnt as playful as it used to be. The VSC seems to be more intrusive though which is interesting.. cuts in now just going around corners fast...

I repeat there is no rubbing or scrubbing at all. So whats to worry about?

Thats right, it's a custom order. They are not on the size chart.

It doesn't scrape or rub.
