WTF.... Why man ? Your not my friend anymore. :(

Ouch, that's harsh man :coy: The wheels needed to be redone because the red was pretty beat up. With polished I can plastidip them red and have almost the exact same look and then go back to polished whenever. With red I can't polish them and still go back to red easily
 
What tires? I'm curious to see the section width and compare them to others. That seems like it'd have some contact issues unless the tire is skinnier.

Tires on now are General Exclaim UHPs (cheapo tires for the time being). When I bought the wheels I threw them on the car with some worn out RE01Rs(?) (the old RE-11s) and all I had to do was use a small spacer on the rear to clear the 2ga spindle

Generals:
Tire Size 255/35-18
Wheel Diameter 18 in.
Sidewall Style Blackwall
Tire Construction Radial
Directional Yes
Tire Diameter 25.00 in.
Section Width 10.00 in.
Minimum Recommended Wheel Width 8.50 in.
Maximum Recommended Wheel Width 10.00 in.


RE01Rs:
TIRE SIZE: 255/35R18
SPEED RATING: W
LOAD INDEX: 90
LOAD RANGE: SL
UTQG: 180 A A
WARRANTY: Limited
SERVICE TYPE:
SIDEWALL: BL
TREAD DEPTH: 9/32 in.
RIM SIZE: 18 in.
TIRE WIDTH: 255 mm
TIRE HEIGHT: 35
SECTION WIDTH: 10.2 in.
OVERALL DIAMETER: 25 in.
 
Hmm...difference in .2" section width between those tires you're running and the 245/40 Star Specs I'm running. Any idea how much clearance you have to the rear knuckle and how much spacer you have?

I'm not running a spacer with the Exclaims so I would say maybe a couple mm of clearance if that, there isn't much. When I ran the spacer it was a 3mm spacer but I never checked clearance with the re01r's and the spacer on. I would say this would be about the only size tire that will fit without going with a large spacer. I think 40s would be too tall and hit the knuckle and 265s would hit as well. The next set of tires I buy will likely be 255/35s as well but in a much better brand. I am guessing I will run into some problems with different tire brands but nothing a small spacer won't fix
 
Pics of how far it sticks out, all of the tread tucks under as you can see

Wow. Rediculously clean. I just saved a few pics onto my phone so I have a new background.
 
Holy backwards camber setup! I'm guessing you just dropped it and didn't correct either end?

Yeah I know :/ Front is where I want it actually. I have a camber kit front and rear. If I didn't run a camber kit the rear would be far worse and the front would be around -2.6 I believe. I was having some rubbing issues in the rear when people would ride with me and I would go on curves so I increased the rear camber to solve that. I need to decrease it to about -1 to-1.5 and see how bad I rub then
