white and whiter
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

okay, off to buy a fender roller
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.

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.
