    I just put 20s on my gtp today, and sometimes when turning i get a slight rub in the front end, anyways to fix this?

    just put 20's on today, tire size is 255/35z/r20 they have a slight rub in the fenders when turning, just gotta cut a piece of plastic, and you cant have your back seat loaded. it rubs if theres too much weight in the back, definetely nice to do to a car tho, i have alloy tech deuces, heres a pic,

    255 might be too much with the offset you're running.

    either trim your inner fender or rip it out. that is what's rubbing.

    or just drive it and let your tires wear through where it rubs and you dont have to do anything.

    Wouldn't this also cause excessive wear on the tire in that spot? First option is probably wiser.

    Once these tires wear out, run 245's for tread width. They won't rub. How wide are your rims?

    VS cam build 13.01@107 316whp/ XP build #1 12.78@110 334whp/ XP build #2 12.56@113 347whp
    IS3 Cam build (Ready to put out some serious numbers)
