Is anyone having rubbing issues. I have LE37T 18x9.5 +40 in the rear and Tein coilovers and my tires rub. Any advice? could I just fix this with alignment, or do I need to roll the fenders. And if either of those wont work, lift the suspension back up an inch? Thanks, ill post the pics soon, dont have them on this computer.

+40 shouldn't be too bad so i would think a little neg camber might keep your tires off the fenders haha. the best way is probably to get your fenders rolled. don't compromise and make your car look like a rally racer with a tall suspension.

Hey there guys, I have a question. From what performance shop are you guys purchasing these wheels from? Anyone that I call they tell me it will be a 60 - 90 day wait for any Volk racing wheel.

Is there a shop in the USA that can supply these wheels faster than that time frame?

Thankx...

Sounds about right, most people have to wait that long to recive their wheels from Japan. Unless you buy them off another memeber.
