What wheels/tires are you running? The Cross struts take up about 5mm of clearance on the inside up front, which could be a problem if you are running a wide tire/wheel with high offset. I'm running 225 Hankook V12s on stock wheels, and there is just about zero clearance inside. With 2 degrees of camber, there's at least an inch on the outside.
So, probably not the most enjoyable ride for commuting then? Would you but them again next time?

I'm running VMR 710's. 18" with a super agressive offset. They tend to rub where the fenders meet the bumpers during fast dips in the road. The front tire is a 235/40/18 Contisport.
