my fender liners were eaten alive by my wheels and tires, then my splash gaurd blew up at a drift event. I gave up after that and tore everything out lol

It's all about the setup. Mine is still functional, so I'm not as low.

So I'm picturing an interesting color combo- Titanium Grey car with florescent yellow Varrstoen 2.2.1's. I tinkered with the idea on Forza 4 last night, and I have to say I like it, but the paint editor for the wheels doesn't allow you to achieve that retina-blistering brightness of the Varrstoens. Anyone up to Photoshop what I'm talking about?

That chart does nothing for personal preference/taste. I like some wacky color combos, like a silver car with florescent orange wheels, or matte grey with lime green. Like I said, I got it pretty close on Forza, so I'm about 99% sure I'll like it in real life.

What size tires and any rubbing? Assuming you're on stock suspension/alignment and no roll.

255/40/18. I had bad rubbing issues so I got the car rolled. I'm still rubbing from big dips and bumps, but I'm fine with hard cornering.

Stock suspension.

That there be a tall tire. You need some camber and stiffer springs, yo! Seriously, though, a 245/40 or a 255/35 would have saved you some headaches.

That will go away once you upgrade the suspension. I had the same issue before installing coilovers.
