Default Another "Will this rub" thread...sorry.

My girlfriend is going to order some SF Challenges for her '06 350Z and she wants the deepest lips without rubbing. She has regular OEM non-Brembos and is lowered on Tanabe GF210 springs.

My guess is that the following sizes will work and be the best for our goals, but I want to make sure before she orders.

Front = 19" x 9.5" +15 with 245/35/19 tire
Rear = 19" x 10.5" +23 with 275/35/19 tire

I am guessing that +11s would rub both front and rear correct? I tried searching, but it is taking too long and I have to run.

P.S. - I have a fender roller, so that is an option as well if needed.

9.5+15 would probably rub, but 10.5+23 won't rub

If you went 9.5+11 / 10.5+11 for sure you would need to roll fender

Getting the "deepest lips" without rubbing is kinda contradictory, but I know what you mean. Just get the +11's all around and roll the fenders if lip size is her main concern. If driveability without rolling is her goal, then get the +15/+23.

I personally believe in the "make it fit" attitude.

^^^Thanks! Can you even roll the front fenders? Would the fender liner still work?

I have 10.5 +23 in the rear. It rubbed with 285/35/19 but I doubt it would rub with 275/35/19

The fronts are ALREADY rolled. my fronts are 9.5 +28 and are just ever so slightly tucked in.

+15 is kind of agressive, I'm not sure if it will rub or not. Seems okay but I can't be sure.

When lowered, my car rubbed over bumps on the freeway with 10.5" +22 275/35/19's. Rolling the fender will fix it though.

Rears will not rub with a little negative camber.

Fronts will rub without modding the fenders for sure, unless you run -2.5 camber or more..

Good Luck!
