Default TR Motorsports C3 17x9 with +62mm offset questions

With a 255/40/17 tire...how bad will they rub with stock height? and when lowered an inch or so?

Anybody have these...what are your thoughts?

Thanks

Thanks
I am amazed that people still ask this question. Get a performance alignment with max camber at stock height. Lowered an inch, likely -2 a minimum but if you autoX, I'd use as much as the stock adjusters will get you.

read instructions, watch online videos, use it, love it, save your fenders and save us the sore story posts

I used it on my front fender tabs along with a heat gun and a laser temp device to make sure I didn't get the paint too hot. I did not do anything to my rear fenders. I'm only lowered a little over an inch.

and on another note, 6 months later my fenders still look good, no cracks in paint, no rust and look great from the outside.. . Fender liners still exist as well even though they were trimmed a lot where they hook onto the fenders. I run a heavy swaybar and 750# spring rates which help my keep my tires out of the fender liners though.. . YMMV with a different setup.

very light rubbing in the front, but as Berny pointed out, a fender roll will eliminate most of it. I have not rolled my fender and mine hit the plastic fender liner at full lock only.

You may rub the inner fender / framerail when compressed. My +48s did, so I assume your +62s would
