1. You should keep amber corners on a red 8.

2. 18x9.75 +20 with 255/40.

I was considering the same specs 18x8.75 +33 with 245/40/18. My guess is the 245/45/18's are giving you your rubbing issues. They look good though!

Not bad. That garage door lip is pretty tacky though.

Wish I could drive around here that low.

I do have the wrong tire size yes. But the tires are already warn and I will be replacing them next summer. Only had 2 months until I was going to store the car so I said hell with it until next season. I will be looking for something much thinner.. Ex: 30-35

As for my corners, I have the clear ones in now. Only reason they're off is because I was trying the fitment of some sh*ty bumper my buddy had and it was a side light delete.
DONT WORRY EVERYONE THEYRE BACK IN. Sheesh

Haha it is tacky indeed but it's the only option I can use for a lip in my opinion. Since its flexible I'm able to tackle most bumps and ramps. If it was a nonflexible lip I would be screwed since I daily drive this car and need the clearance.

Madeon is that authentic MS? If not the fitment looks pretty decent.

9k is right, its a KBD Polyurethane replica. The fitment is satisfactory and it didn't need much work but its not perfect haha.

Nice. Looks darker than VRed, but that's probably just the light/camera.

Got my wheels fitted today. Just need to lower her a little more and add a little camber in the back and it will be good. Once that is done, I am going to start looking into a different front bumper, side skirts, etc.
