I went on a nice hard drive through the hills after the install and no rubbing at all but keep in mind I'm not really that low.

answer...

Simple...No, you will not rub.

Look a few posts above and Nick207 answers your question.

^^ I believe he's running the stock sizes...215/245. The tires are flush with the rim in the pics. You will not rub with the 255 setup. You will have plenty of room to spare.
I have 255's in the rear and have a 1/2 finger gap from the tire to the wheel well in the back and I don't rub.

sold my BB AP1 last month:






And bought an NFR AP2.
Same 20mm rear & 15mm front still, now with Dunlop star specs (MUCH wider than OEM Bridgestones)

Running -1.4 camber front, -2.8 rear. Relocated rear bumper tab, removed rubber trim, trimmed rear bumper. Folded up front fender tabs and pushed liner up as far as I can. Rubs slightly on hard bumps still, but only because Star Specs are HUGE. I was able to run a 20mm spacer up front with no mods to liner and -1 camber on the OEM bridgestones w/ no rubbing AT ALL, with the Dunlops I had to modify the tabs and liner and can only run the 15mm with more camber and still slight rubbing. I Have to bend up the tabs a little more and take a heat gun to the liners to push them up more and there won't be any rubbing at all.

I just purchased some H&R 20mm(front), 25mm(rear) and can't wait for the them to come in. I'm running 255's in the rear and 225's in the front(but will be going back to the 215's). Fenders' are rolled all around, front fenders are a little flared and bumper tabs relocated. This set up should work. Many people say that my stockers look great powdercoated so I would rather stay with them...Just make the car look a little more aggressive. Here's a pic...



I will post more pics when the spacers arrive and I install them.
Thanks to all you guys for the help on this thread!!!
