Actually my bad , the rear are 20.5 lbs ad the front are 18.5. You're right ! To be honest I chose those wheels without even looking at the price tag and trying to get the closest reasonable size I could get. Just love the design and hopefully it will work well and look nice . Saw your fender roll DIY, will be doing it next week ! Good job on the write up and thanx for all the info ! Cheers

off topic a bit but do you guys use hubcentric rings if the wheels don't sit perfectly on the hubs? My 2 rear wheels have rings on them due to hub fitment but after recently powdercoating them I lost the rings and im dying to put them back on lol I live in the burbs so getting these rings in the correct size at an auto store isn't easy but what else can I do

I don't. The rings only make it easier to bolt the wheel on and do nothing once they are torqued down if you have the correct lugs. Also ever heard of a little company called Amazon? Pretty sure they can get anything to anywhere

Can someone help me please?

I have TE 37SL wit the following specs:

- 17x7.5 +40 (225/45)
- 17x8.5 +40 (245/40)

I rolled all fenders and relocated tabs. In addition to that I have negative camber set at max on front and rear and I am still rubbing in the front!!

I do not rub over humps. I rub when cornering (sometimes, but mainly when I am getting off or on a highway ramp/loops.

Another weird thing is that I cannot find tire marks anywhere on the front fenders to pin point exactly where the rubbing is happening.

Could I be rubbing at the suspension somewhere? Please help

Pictures help. What is your camber set at? Are you lowered? If so how much? Is there a place it could be rubbing the liner?

How much guardwork is needed for this

17x9.5+35
17x10+30
255/40/17
-3deg camber all around. Im guessing a pull of 5mm front and 15mm rear on top of rolled guards?

Needs wider fenders. I have 17x10 +35 and the rears are pulled as much as they will go -3.4 camber and I still rub. You would have to have overfenders and wider fronts for those.

Front is set at -2.4. I have Bilsteins suspension but I am not lowered. The car sits lower than OEM though and all I can tell you is the gap between the rear fenders and tires is a finger and a half wide.

I don't think it's the fender liner as when I rub the wheel literally wants to stop moving from how bad. Not sure if the fender liner is strong enough to stop the wheels from spinning while rubbing.

I am really confused. I'll try to snap a picture later today.

Thanks again for your help.
