I have 9.5" in front and 10.5" in the rear, pic below after giving my car a nice little spa treatment a few moments ago:

A friend of mine successfully grinded down the [font="'Arial Black"]interior part of the wheel that hooks up with the rotor/lugs by 3mm. This solved my scraping issue [/font]and the car rides and handles beautifully now.

I want to see pictures where the scraping was.

When I first put my wheels on they offered me to mill the wheels to decrease offset so I didn't rub - I refused, much easier (and cheaper) to roll the fenders to get the clearance I needed

What's the offset you're running now? I love the deep dish look of the wheels in the back. My brother has a Porsche GT2 with 13.5" diameter wheels in the rear and the lip on my wheels are still deeper than on his porsche. Now if I could only have as much power as he has in that beast.

Same here! Mine were +20mm when I got them, but had them grinded down -3mm to +17. The lip on mine are the same as yours and I'm loving it too!

HAHAHA, the way I see it: There are not a lot of cars out there that can have a nice deep lip on em, so since ours can - why not get the deepest lip you can find?
