I really overwork the 245s and 255's I've tried up front on track(2 hpde's and the pss's were completely cooked) and it felt better with 265's on twisty roads as well.

With the h&r springs and 265/30's up front I had very slight rubbing when at lock with 3-4 people in the car or in odd situations, after a few months that slight rubbing disappeared completely from the wheel wells wearing a bit but nothing that damaged them, just two or three places that the tires slightly rubbed wearing halfway through the plastic. I personally didn't mind it but there may be very slight rubbing in tight parking situations and of course each car settles a little differently but that's going to be the next set I put on, 265/30-295/30 PSS or rs3's.
Spencer, just curious, were you running the revised wheel well liners when you experienced this rubbing? And anything that you think spacers would help/hurt? Thanks.
