rubbing, so they are sitting in my house until i find a solution...
1) 255/30/19 Toyo tire
2) Fender Rolling
3) Machine 5mm off rear hub of wheels
if that doesn't work, i have to change the lips (outer barrels) from 3" to 2.5"
or i may just sell them and get some DPE GT6, Vorsteiner's or BBS LM's

yea, i heard it weakens the wheel...
thanks
heres the clearance i have now:
even with a passenger in front, going 35+ over small bumps, it'll rub.

you don't need fender roller. only need to shave off the plastic tap petruding inside where the fender meets the bumper. The tabs are actually from the bumper molding.

i didn't go with cross drilled because i bought the brakes used from someone that tracks the car, so cross drilled would crack easier.
when it's time to change rotors, i will definitely go cross drilled...gotta have it for show
i dont track the car anyways

Rlee why are you changing your brake system? I think the one you have is already a brembo made 4 pistons and 355mm drill rotors. 4 pistons for the rear is too much i think, you might loose grip under heavy brakes.
I am getting a C32 brake upgrade pretty soon any advice on the performance pads?

For the c32 brakes, get Porterfield R4-S pads
yep, looks and weight saving. The kit is so much lighter than the C32 system.

Oh Ok, cuz the C32 Kit sold here in Thailand comes with a brembo 355 cross drill so I thought thats the original oem for C32.. hehe my bad.
