I hope there is no rubbing. I'm having this set-up put on Wednesday. From what I've read here there should be no issues on stock suspension.

I'm running 225/35/19 and 265/30/19 on SF71 wheels. Lowered on KW V2's and all 4 guards have been rolled/pumped out and I'm rubbing, especialy over small potholes!!

Can't push the car 100% for this reason. PSS are not as noisy as the RE-11 and feel about as comfortable as an RE-11 on 18" wheel.

I received mine from Steve@Tirerack. 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 on 18x8.5 ET45 and 18x9.5 ET50 GTC-CXs (VMR710 equivalents). Looks hella flush at the back but no rubbing, even with load in boot and rear passenger seat on the way home (my full set of 18 inch 261s and RFTs!). Stock M-sport suspension.

I have about 28K kms on my PS3's. No track days, but I do drive very fast and driving a few mountain passes like Stelvio didn't help my tire thread life. Yea, I will buy them again. Probably PSS's though bc of the price difference.

That's interesting, I run PS2's on my M Coupe and they hold up great to track temps. I was just about to switch to PSS, but may be inclined to stick with PS2's after reading your comment.
