Looks nice, but I think you should have gone 285 in the rear on those Falkens...they run narrow in comparison to other tires. Notice how the rear lip sticks out farther than the tire? Nigxdoof had the same issue on his Rad's and ended up changing his rears to 285's. What are your rear offsets?

Rear offset is 20. I like the look of the wheels sticking out a tad. It allows you to push the wheel out as far as possible...and it clears the fender because the tire is slightly narrower than the wheel. If the tire is the same width as the tire then you have less room to widen the stance. This is obviously only IMHO. I have some 10mm spacers from an old e90. I was going to roll the hell out of the fender and see if I can squeeeeeze and extra 10mm out of the wheels. What does everyone think??

I have the same wheel/tire combo as you, and I am lowered on hr sport and sometimes I rub if people are sitting in the back, I am thinking of going 5mm in the rear and 2-3mm spacers in the front, let me know if 10mm works in the rear cuz I might try this.

I put 10mm spacers on rear and rolled the hell out of the fenders. It is perfectly flush with the fender line and no rubbing so far. I rarely have anyone in the back so im curious if I will rub like that. I actually rub a lot in the front when im turning into a driveway/curb line etc. Anyone else experience that??

I rub in the front too even tho I rolled my fender, now I'm rubbing in rear and I'm going to roll the fenders too I think KwV2 is the solution so the rebound can be adjusted.

Cool, thanks man, so you put 10mm spacers in the rear, but none in the front because you have rubbing issues (I do to! when making sharp turns) yet I still want to have at least 5mm more to the front on each side to make it more flush also. You are on sport package suspension so do you think if you're car was lowered on h&r sport by 0.7" that it would rub. Can you post some pics of the rear please. thanks

I am on h&r sport springs too, I have no rubbing issues and I've never rolled my fenders, only issues were sharp turns in parking lots at slow speeds, otherwise I may need KW V2 coils as well. BTW why'd you change out to Work wheels, got bored of the mrr's I need new 20" wheels too, lol.
