You really need to read the thread. He states that he doesn't rub in the front with the +63. You have a greater chance of rubbing with the +43 IMO. Just because the offset is lower it doesn't make the lip bigger. They only make them in certain sizes. You can't go bigger then that lip in 18" with the SP1s.

Have you rolled your fender yet? What size are you running? The same as John was?

Nope haven't rolled the fenders... I'm running 265/35/18's and there is no rubbing on the fender, just the screws that hold up the rear bumper. I have it lowered an inch but this same rubbing on the screw and washer happened before the drop.

What screw are you talking about? Can you take a pic? Have you done an alignment after you lowered? Did you ever hit a curb?

I have the same problem with the bolt in the fender. It is the bolt that holds the rear bumper to the fender. It is right at that line where the two come together. I have the Spoon wheels with fenders rolled, and this is also the only place where I have an issue with rubbing. Not often, though.

Allright! I'm not crazy...Thankyou charles02. No curbs, no alignment problems, lowered just an inch. I just ordered 255/35/18's and that should do the trick. I would have left it alone if it was an occasional rub but the rub occured on the smallest of bumps.
