Thanks for the information. I will definitely move my 12mm spacers up front then. What is this "L" piece on the front fender?[/QUOTE]
After playing around with it more....you guys will all rub on reverse. You really need to shave the fins on the front part of the fender liner /plastic trimming. I would recommend even removing a lot of the fins and replacing it with mesh (if you want to avoid ANY rubbing). I was told that this location is really low impact for radiator, though mesh would give you peace of mind. also 20x11+15 WILL NOT FIT the front (too close to inner strut). You need to run a 3-5mm spacer and at that point you might be too far poked out. However if you run coilovers the strut body is thinner and you might be able to clear. My goal is to run 20x11+15 square hopefully.... |

Do you happen to know which fins are the problematic ones?

I plan to heat and push back the liner with minor shaving. This way I can keep some protection from the fins. |

Rear doesnt need a spacer. Maybe like 3-5mm if youre like HELLA flush but not really necessary IMO.
There is a slight protrusion in the rear fender liner that likes to rub (when i was on OEM wheels with +13R spacer) so i just trimmed that |

Waiting on tires now to come in, I didn't realize these had the logo engraved, pretty slick.
I also ordered black stems that are a direct OEM replacement for the sensors. Here's the link in case anyone is interested (it's really from tpms dot com) https://www.ebay.com/itm/265144970829

I think you made the right choice going diamond black! The rears look like a pretty damn good fitment. Did you throw your spacers up front or those are without?

And I agree, the rears are just about perfect. No spacers on the front right now. The fronts definitely need at least a 10mm spacer. I only have a 15/18 setup, and I think the 15 may be a bit aggressive. Probably going to sell those. |

Thanks! KW HAS, can still go lower in the front, rear at max height utilizing KW 15mm spring spacers. And sorry, haven't weighed them.
