Is your fender cutting into the tire or just the way the tire is?
That's definitely a close fit though. Balsy.

That's the same fit (from the tire edge to the fender lip)I had w/ my 295s on my 10+45s, it's close but they do tuck with about 3mm to spare His wheels are 5mm further out than mine though.

At first it was running on the "cardboard" rock guard thing inside the rear fender but I think the tire wore it down. Haven't had any issues since. but again I haven't had a load of people or a full trunk yet. From the looks on the outside it seems like there's enough clearance but it's definitely really close. I recommend this staggered wheel/tire size for the sedans, looks sick. Have no rubbing at all up front with the low offset and still looks flush with the fender.

Hope these wheels hold up okay, I know they aren't the highest of quality. I snagged them off Craigslist for $500 with a fresh powder coat.

I was thinking about polishing my brake calipers and getting all the rust off the rotors. I think it would complement all the chrome on the car, and plus they look so uneven and dull. If I had the option I would just get the sport brakes but man they aren't cheap and honestly I'm not going to hit the track or anything so it would be kinda stupid to through the money at something for just the looks. Does anyone have a DIY on how to polish calipers and/or clean up rotors? Or even a picture of a g with polished calipers?

Thanks!

Just clean the calipers w/ some brake cleaner and a 3m scrub pad, followed by a final wipe down w/ rubbing alcohol. same goes for the rotor center areas. You can then mask off the part of the rotors that scrub the pads (leave a bit of the inner area toward the center unmasked so the pads will cut a clean ring) and just paint them w/ a VHT high temp black paint. This will clean up the overall look, but not bring unwanted attention to the smaller base brakes.
