Wow man, new set of Volks is awesome. Never would have thought orange would look good on any color, but you pulled it off.

The fenders clear the tires, its just very very close. Typically I'll drive one wheel up a ramp or up to a curb to see the clearance.

Does not touch, whatsoever. I just drove 30 miles with two passengers yesterday and didn't hear a thing.

Ross - The fenders clear fine at full lock

And yes, I am now extremely paranoid about my car! LOL!

Some people just hate on everything out of the ordinary, which is fine. Makes the unordinary more exclusive. Enjoy your tucked wheels dezau

I thought it was interesting that people may assume that the setups rub. Really, they don't. If a setup rubs it just means you haven't done enough work in the right areas to prevent rubbing from occurring

Specifically look to see where on the tires it is rubbing. If you still can't tell, try driving up a ramp or one wheel up a driveway until there is contact. Some setups require plenty of shaving while others may just need a hefty roll. If you were in SoCal I'd be more than happy to meet up and help you out.

Atilla your xmas avatar is awesome, haha! Thanks for the kudos, it's time to move on to other aspects of the car though. I haven't done the driver mod in a while so I'll be looking into that some time soon

The Prodrives were indeed my favorite. But the TE's are pretty sexy as well!

Good stuff man.
