Alex WTF? Gt2's already have their fender lips flat (rolled) from the factory, inner lining is different from turbo too. I am running 335's in the rear with no issues.

The rub is coming from the front, and is really starting to bother me. The rub has been getting worse and worse over the past thousand miles, and the fenders need to be tucked. Rear is allll good

Check your suspension/alignment, you know what rubbing in the front with stock tires means? NOT AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH ALIGNMENT WISE

Dial in more camber and you are set!

Martin, you are 100% correct. I had a non agressive alignment done a few thousand miles ago (dont ask why LOL) and i am bringing it in later this week to have the suspension tweaked. Figure it wont hurt to roll the fenders while Im at it

I am running 255's up front now with no issues, once you get -1+ camber dialed in you are set, i'm not wearing through tires like crazy either (except my rear street tires)

I'm only wearing threw the street MPS1's because of traction issues.. Now with my R comps no issues (only when cold, but they are 335's so massive grip when warm)

Yup... Toyo R888's, SICK tires and grip! I am using them on my 12" wide RUF wheels, great fit. Here is the 335 rear (TomKerr's photo)

Unfortunately yes, but not unbearable. It will get less noises with time and wear too, mine are still damn new, only 2 events on them.
