You have to have the rear bracket shaved a lil or you will rub like a ****!!! It's very easy , I had paid 120 for it but well worth it !!! You will see an feel a bolt/bracket right under rear bumper above tire where the bumper meets the fender and that is what rubs!!! This is a aggresive set-up w that tire size but I think you be good!!! For me to play it safe I ran a 275/30/20 and was close and tight in there but because of hankooks !!! Maybe a 285/25? You can try but I'm sure you can pull it off w a 285/30/20 falken . Also nice choice in wheels !! 86 are nice too, even 82s!!!

Lou gave me a clear cut explanation and told me I should go with +32 +39, with 245/35 and 275/30 tires. He said I would have no rubbing problems.

Alright here is what my final set up will look like:

-Amethyst Graphite G37-
Tein S-Tech w/ SPC Rear Camber kit
Vossen VVS-085's (20 x 9 +32, 20 x 10.5 +39)
Falken/Nitto (whatevers cheaper) Tires 245/30 Front, 275/30 rear.
These sound good, and are what lou/vossen recommends.

I have pics w my set-up on s techs w 275/30/20 and +30 !! What's funny is tha previously I ran a 245/30/20 and 285/30/20 falkens on a +32 and rear +39 w absolutely no rubbing, then I switched to hankooks v12 285/30/20 and rubbed like crazy on a +39 rear !!! So it was the tire!!! Me and steveg37 had same problem, he went from a 305 perreli to a 285/30/20 hankook and then rubbed.

Thanks for the help, but I'm going to stick with this set up. It looks aggressive enough without being too out there which is exactly what I want.
Your set up is sweet!

Thanks and while I like aggressive, I want to maintain some of the class thus I'm going with the +32 +39. And maybe in the future if I change my mind, I'll go more aggressive, but for now this is perfect for me.

Oh ok. Can you recommend me a good brand. I was thinking about getting volks formula but I don't like how they stick out. I want it to look like the stock ones. No pics yet? I'm dying to see CONCAVE
