Nice choice. And to answer the rubbing question, mine rub when I go over large bumps or dips at high speeds and I'm at stock height.

Really they rub? What brand and size tires are you running with them? I have no rubbing...yet. Took it up to 145 yesterday and didn't feel a thing. Very smooth

do you think a fender cut and roll would clear this up, or do they stick out pretty bad? (Is it the rear that rub or both)?

I appreciate the tip. I had been doing that but was wondering if it was necessary.
When I received the wheels from UPS I put wheel wax on the inside parts before installing them. After that I waxed the outside. Today I sprayed it with water and all the nasty break dust went away. These wheels are so freaking deep I could have swam in the water the lip was holding. It took a whole towel just to soak all that junk up. Then I used McGuires quick detail spray on all of them. Shiny like a ****

You probably won't experience any rubbing with your tire set up, I didn't take that into account. I'm running BFG KDW2 tires in 255/35 and 285/35.
And to answer OneI350's question, I do think that cutting or rolling the fender will fix this issue. I'm going to roll the fenders soon, so I should know after that.

I'll be working on the tunes next. In the works right now. After that I thought about Aero kit and then maybe Borla. JWT is from what I've heard a little overrated but I had thought about that aswell.
I wouldn't mind hearing some other opinions though. Thanks again!

don't make the same mistake I made with Borla. If you eventually go with FI then get Greddy EVO TT or something that will work with FI.

I've heard nice things about Greddy and I appreciate your suggestion and forsight. I have since changed my mind about the Borla and was thinking more towards Nismo or Greddy.

Just because I'd like to know, in the US, do you have to have your cars certified or recertified each time you make mods like dropping it, or spacers, racing seats, FI etc???
