This is awesome. I'm looking at RP03's with ZII's...

Under near full compression while autocrossing I've found I get an intermittent rub, but I'm at the minimum recommended ride height for the KW V3. I'm going to raise my front ride height probably 1/2" and see if it goes away and then corner balance from there. I didn't have any issues at stock height, but I didn't get much time to experiment with it on the stock suspension.

So if a guy did 245's on 8's, that would almost guarantee no rubbing...

I haven't identified where the wheel is rubbing, but one could assume that would fix the matter. Are you on stock suspension, or lowered? Stock strut or coilovers?

I will be going on KWV3's or Tarmac II's - probably not lowest setting

I'll try to pull a wheel off sometime this week and see if I can figure out the rubbing, but you should be good. Just a heads up, I plan on going to 17x9 with either a 245 or 255/40 ZII after these tires are spent. My setup feels good, but I'm trying to dial back in some turn-in feel.

I envy the fact that you can drive your car now. I cannot.... (Live in Fargo, ND)

Yeah, if there's one thing I love about living in the Southeast, it's being able to daily drive on autocross tires all year round. There are usually only a couple of weeks a year where it even gets cold enough for the tire compound to make driving hairy. Of course it sure would be nice to have an excuse to buy something AWD.

Hey do you have any more pics of your car with the wheels and kw's? Looking to do the same setup. Thanks!
