what are you alignment settings and did you need to do any fender modifications to keep from rubbing?

are you still rubbing?

the front appears to "poke", do you plan to run more camber to eliminate that?

ya if i was sticking w/ this setup i'd definately put some more front/rear camber... but i'm changing out tommorow, the 18 x 8.5 SVNs are in .

there is actually some rear rubbing, on full load. but i love the agressive stance.

we have the steel grey in the proper offset.

i'd only go w/ the 35 offset if you have to have a flush look. evo people can't stand wheels that aren't flush! i'm catching that sickness from them i guess.

Howdy SD.
I'm in the process of choosing a set of your wheels, and of course the e35 18x8.5" P45F is on the top of my list. The only thing that worries me is the offset, as it's so far off what the oem wanted us to run.

Will there be any negatives to going with an e35?
Loss of handling, torque steer, bearing damage?
