Just a quick update on this, I had the plastic wheel wells modified and the front bumper fasteners ground down earlier this week.

While the rubbing problem was reduced, it's still bad enough that I decided to go with the K2 Variant 2 coilovers which should be installed on June 6th - needless to say, I can't wait!

I'll let y'all know how it goes once they're installed

100% agree, that's why I've gotta figure out the best way to get this fixed soon... even if it means parting ways with the 20'' PG3s
I'm very happy with my 172s at 19 inches. I love to drive fast and take turns fast and, to me, the 19s work perfectly. But 20s are more dramatic looking.

I am in the same boat.... I recently moved up to 20".

LOVE the look. But, that little rub here and there makes me think I need to go back to 19"

F********CK, I LOVE THOSE HAMANNs MAN!!!!! OMG, I friggin adore them so much - I should see a doctor!!!

Dude, I'm glad you're keeping them, cuz if you'd have put them up for sale, I'd prolly be spending money I don't have to buy them

Anyway, let us know if the coilovers solve the problem - from what I've read on the forum so far, they should.

Springs: Eibach Sportline
The Eibach springs are not suitable for spirited driving, they are soft which makes them ideal for driving around with improved looks without losing comfort.
For the business of handeling H&R is recommended becuase of their stiffer springs.
