I believe you can also BEND the tabs, but not remove/relocate them.

Noticed a small amount of rubbing on the fender lip clips. Did a fender trim and bent up the tabs this am before work. Pretty quick and easy job that frees up a decent amount of space. Shouldnt rub now but if it does a can add a bitmore camber. At UK specs now.

Car is lowered about 1.25".

Here's a pic of the stock front AP1 tire next to the 255. Significant difference.

Thanks for the pics. I am seriously considering these wheels for STR as a replacement for my AP2 rears. While the AP2 rims cant be beat on price they certainly aren't light and they are only 8.5". Not only do these rims look great but they are light and relatively cheap. I just need to decide if I want to keep the black rim thing going or if I want to go with the silver like you have.

Nice choice!
