Default Tanabe gf210's question.

Thinking about getting the gf210's just want to make sure I don't have any rubbing issues. I'm running Xxr 527's 18x9.75 all around with a +20 offset with 275/40/18 out back and a 255/40/18 up front. Or if anyone has any pics of this setup. I haven't been able to find any.

You will probably need a minor roll.

Rear fenders? I was thinking I would. Will I need to do anything with the front?

There is ONE screw on the front fenders that holds part of your wheel well splash guard in place. If you don't remove this and your tire hits it, it could cause a bump in your fender where the screw was pushed into the metal. I have 19x9.5/10.5 +17/18 w/ 255/35 fronts and 285/35 rears. Rent a fender roller for the rear, and remove the screw for the fronts.

With the offset the OP has, he will probably be good. Then there is also the remove the screw , cut the screw in half and install the screw again trick. you can also pull the front fenders easily. I did wetdreamzzz front fender pull at the track. Took me 2 minutes.

Nothing to worry about unless your running 25mm spacers or more on your stock wheels.
