Right now I'm running 17x9 +35 RPF1s with 255/40/17 hankook rs3 on stock suspension. Right now there's no rubbing from what I can tell. Will lowering springs with a 1inch drop cause some rub?

Wheels look tucked in with a lot of camber. For sure rubs.

How do you like them? I've been considering a set for some track/autocross use. They worry me a bit since they're not JWL/VIA.

Have you done any events on them?

@makinen Looks good. More pics please!!

I haven't done yet with this set. Will do soon.
But my colleagues did several autocross runs and track sessions. So far so good.

With some spiritual runs done, I'm quite satisfied. Compared to previous SSR Type-C 16x7.5 and 225/50R16 R-s3 set, it does not feel heavy. Really heavy when lift them by hands as you know. But supercharged power could like heavy and sticky ones.

Does this count?

For anyone who has shaved their rear bumper tab to fit 18x9.5 w/265 or 255 tires, can you post what the shaved area looks like? I'm already committed to shaving mine, I just want to know how much of the bumper and where I have to shave off before installing to avoid rubbing.

What is the width and offset of these wheels?

I've been searching for tire wheel sizes for days now. I'm wanting to run a 255/35/18 on 18x9.5 et38 Gram Lights. I'm dialed down about 2" on my Tein Flex Z coils. Do I need to be concerned with fitment aside from the bumper tab situation in the rear?

thanks to anyone willing to save my sanity!
