Hello all,

We finally have the SSR's on the car! We had them ready yesterday, but didn't have the right hardware to mount them. We took care of that today and they are finally on! Perfect fit with no rubbing! These are 18x8 40mm front and 18x9 45mm rear with -2.5 camber up front and -2 in the rear. 235/40R18 front 265/35R18 rear.

Pics speak for themselves, no center caps since we received the wrong ones.

Enrique

you meant R18's for the rear right?

18x9 w/265 doesn't rub in the rear?

I still dont understand how you got those not to rub. I had my fenders cut to hell, and had to go to a 5/16" higher than stock rear spring to avoid rub.

with the same wheels?

identical wheels, and same size tires. on a half inch drop = MEGA rubbing. cut the fenders, still rubbed. had to life the rear to stop it. cradle aligned, car aligned, etc.

Was this car red before? I'm confused, I think.

The only thing I can think of is the camber I am running. I am running -2 in the rear. If you look at the pics on my web site you can see how it tucks the top in. Here is a good pic of what I mean...

I took off some 275/40R17 on 17x8's off the car to put these on. No rubbing with either. Rolled fenders in rear.
