The offset is very aggressive. I have the sustec gf210s lowering the car, and I rub like crazy... Mine were the same offset as the C-West car (actually purchased via C-West), so I can slide my hand inbetween the caliper and the spoke... I'm taking the car to the shop for some fender work and ordering some coilovers with full threads on the sleeves (I can't tell you any more about that one... ) It also depends on how low a profile your willing to run, but it's all adaptable..

The offset is slightly aggressive on mine, and really aggressive on 2003spa2000's car.

I'm running with 1.5 fingers of gap between the fenders and the tires, and they rub a tiny bit sometimes on very bumpy roads because I'm running the softest setting on the shocks.

I'm stiffening up the damper this week and raising the car about 5mm. It shouldn't rub then. Besides, if you go with smaller tires, you shouldn't have too much of a problem at all.

Got aggressive offset?

On my S lowered to 1 finger all the way around with 225 front and 255 rear...shocks set to about 1/3 from softest, I get very slight front rub and very very slight rear rub...from agressive street driving...not enought rub to see the rub marks after you wash the tires. I don't think it will rub when set to the stiff side...but I am not trying that on the street with 12k/13k springs...I will wait until track day to find out.

Different brand of tires also have different overall width...mine are P-Zero Rosso.

I'm right behind you.

Two clips fell off from the right front fender lining, and one from the left front.

I'll have them replaced after everything is done. If they come off again, they'll stay off.
