Casey (eklipz98) has been running these on his AP2 with full CR Suspension Setup. He ran the standard 215/255 and now is on 225/255 RS-Rs. You won't have any rubbing issues. The roads we drive are extremely bumpy, and he is known to get airborne off of some jumps now and then.
The feedback he has mentioned to me is that the overall grip is good, a little less precise feel compared to Star Specs, and pretty loud at the limit (lots of squeal), overall a pretty damn good tire with an excellent price.

You couldn't make these rub even if you tired with OEM tire size and OEM cr suspension. I get airborne and gutter drop and frame slap my x brace with showers of sparks weekly and have never rubbed.

I do my share of canyoning and I'm pretty sure my tires go longer than that... are you guys sure your alignments are okay? Bad alignments eat tires...
Granted, I thought my Federals wore really fast too when I tried em.

My current set of RSR's, I've had for close to 8k now, but my canyoning has been cut down to once, maybe twice a month ever since my friends got into some trouble with West Covina court and surrounding law enforcement.
I want to try either AD08's next or Star Specs just to see if they do last more milage.

i ended up ordering them monday from onlinetires for $503 shipped, so i certainly cannot complain about the price. should be here saturday. id do a review if i knew wtf i was talking about. truthfully these will never see any track/ auto-x time, and i dont really even have anything to compare them to considering ive probably only driven on the re070s a handful of times before replacing them.

Is anyone running these on their CR at stock sizes (215/45 & 255/40) and stock ride height/camber/wheels?
Just wondering if I need to be concerned with the width of these, as I was looking at reviews and came across a picture comparing the width to a Nitto NT05 (both 255/40)
Should I be worried about rubbing?
