@patinum ... any rubbing issues? I'd imagine not @ stock ride height but figured I'd ask...

Stock height.

Race config is 225 Hoosier R6 - didn't notice any rubbing (ie, my fenders look fine).

Street config is 255 Hankook RS3's all around - I definitely hear something at full lock while parking. I'm going to run them on the track tomorrow. I'll report back what I find (pm me if I forget about this thread).

No severe rubbing issues. I lost most of my fender tabs on the track this weekend, but the fenders themselves and the tires look to be in okay shape.

I've crushed the hell out of my brake ducting and it looks like there may be slight rubbing on the inner fender well. There are no marks on the wheels or control arms that would lead me to believe that is currently an issue. (At least for track use, haven't autox'd them yet).

My front center rings don't fit my hub right. They are like a hair too small (inner diameter). This is on both sets of C3's I have.

I did 2 track sessions on my street set (255 Hankooks) and left the center caps on. I came back with 2 of them. The other 2 can now easily be pulled off the wheel. It looks like it's a deformation of the center cap as my track set of center caps (which have never been on the car) still fit fine in both my track wheels and street wheels.

Remove plastic center caps (especially on front wheels) when you track as the heat will melt/deform them and they fall off.

Yeah, slight lapse in judgement. I sometimes do my morning runs on street tires to get comfortable for the day and not waste the precious Hoosiers. Honda center caps do a pretty good job of staying on

Plastic center caps?

Well black looks pretty good. Want more good photos of those.
