Volk GT30's/ Tein S-Tech's "IT DOES RUB"--then "Its Fixed!

Rubbing problem solved, I cut the lining about 1*13" out of the top outer lip and had to trim about 1/8" off the inner rear bumper mounting tab, just behind at the seam, about 2 O'clock position on the driver’s side. As you can see in the pic, it barely rubbed at all; it only made two shinny strips on the felt like lining and took off about 1/16" of paint on the bumper mount tab. I just got back from a short test and no rubbing, at least not yet. The material seems to be the same as the lining under the trunk.





The wheels arrived today from Sharif at Forged Performance and my good friend at our local Discount Tire mounted the rubber without a scratch.
It’s seemed like forever, but well worth the wait, I could not be happier with the wheels but I need to lift it some.
GT30 Formula Silver
20X9.5 +35 / 3" lip front
20X10.5 +37/ 4" lip rear
245/35/20 and 275/30/20
With TMPS
IT DOES RUB in the rear on the loose felt like inner fender well when I hit a bump!! I could trim some of the inner fender well away or find a way to hold it close against the sheet metal and I don't think it would hit.

I'm going to lift it up some.







Thanks Sharif @ Forged Performance
Chance, and WD @ Discount Tire

Thats looks incredible. Just remove the lining and be done with it. It looks great at that height. Unless you are going to drive it hard and track it, you dont really need coils but you wont be disappointed if you do go that route.
