Default New setup, PF01SS / 255 RS3s

First off I want to thank the guys at LSD Motorsports. They were a pleasure to deal with, provided excellent communication, and did a great job mounting/balancing and shipping the wheels to me safely. On top of all that, they got me an awesome deal on all this. I highly recommend them!

Anyways, these are my new matte black Enkei PF01SS 17x9 with Hankook RS3 255/40/17 tires.

Compared to my old worn out front tires






Gonna need camuman to get his ass over here and roll my fenders ASAP!

I have run PF01 with 255s for a year. Car is lowered with KW Clubsports. You do not have to roll your fenders. I did not have the slightest rub.

That's what I thought for about 2+ years... but they'll bite your fenders eventually. My tire snagged one of the clip flanges (after wearing through the liner in a few places), sliced off a good 1/8" of tire and mangled the fender lip. The fender damage is difficult to see in this image, but the tire shavings kept coming out from behind the liner.

I suggest rolling the fenders. But, even then there is still a chance the tire will grab the fender lip...
