Does It rub?: Fitment guide

[CTRPR]

Hello everyone,

I wanted make a thread just so everyone can present their set up as info so other can get ideas and let us know if there are tire rubbing issues.

I know there is a fitment thread but I want to dedicate this one for wheel, tire and suspension specifics and discussing if the set up has good clearance without rubbing issues. If you had issues, let us know what modifications were done to fix the clearance issues.

Please include the following:
- Images
- Wheel specs: Diameter x width and offset
- tire specs + tire model
- Include spacer specs
- suspension specs with spring or coilover model (amount of drop id known)
- Camber specs if not stock geometry
- Does the set up has rubbing issues?
- if initially had rubbing issues, what did you do to fix the issue?

The Goal is to have as much information as possible accessible to the FL5 community since it is one of the most common questions out there.

I encourage everyone to post their set up, even though similar or same set up was presented, since we all enjoy just scrolling through pictures of the Type R

Is that natural camber you've gained as a result of lowering or have you got camber arms/pins removed?

No camber arms, just removed the pins. Front was 1.2 (left) and 1.6 (right) before removing pins and alignment; rear was 2.2, so no change in the back.

I like. How do you like this compared to stock setup? Is the extra sidewall and lighter rims noticeable?

The ride is definitely cushier with the extra sidewall. I only use these for autox so don't have a ton of other info beyond tons of grip with the re71rs. The re71rs in this size weighs significantly more than oem ps4s. I did weigh both setups on my bathroom scale oem/ps4s was 52.2 lbs and the forged/re71rs was 51.2 lbs.
