Good info. Are you able to add a 3mm spacer without kissing the fender?

I think my fenders have a mild pull to them, and they've been brought out the max space from the engine bay out that those bolt holes up top will allow. |

I didn't try any spacers on the front. But do note that the darker (cleaner) area on the fender liner is also some rubbing. Rears are actually some old 265(I think)/35/18 Hankook RS3s. I'm going to swap them all out for a set of PS4S (might try rears 275/35 which is 0.2" wider than the 265 Hankook) and I'll try some spacers then. I also need to get my front wheels checked for bends. Hard sidewalls and big potholes don't feel too good.

So close! We generally recommend a 5mm spacer for 255/35 tires on this setup, but as others have said you might be able to get away with a 3mm judging from these photos.
The wheels look great though! -Tom
