Fender rubbing
I'm looking at getting some new wheels and the calculations tell me the fronts with a +25 offset would be pushed out 6mm so I went to check if they would rub the fender liner. Even with the stock setup I noticed that I'm just barely touching the fender liner, this look normal? What have you done with front wheel setups if this is a issue?

Looks too close relative to what I see as stock. FWIW, running 10mm spacers on all 4 corners on stock suspension/wheels/tires, no rubbing whatsoever

Really? Looks way too close? not sure if you can tell from the picture but the wheel is turned to where the tires would be the closest to the fender liner. would that make a difference in looking right or not. Here's another pic from the passenger side.

I haven't check if mine is rub. IMHO if it is stock (All stock) it wont rub. unless you lowered the car or use bigger wheels/ tires. probably there's a chance.
good luck |

My car is all stock, not lowered and that's how it looks on mine when the wheel is turned almost halfway.

That plastic there shaves done super easy. Vs the tires, there's no competition, the tires will win every time. There's no risk of wearing out your tires imo.

Front Fender / Tire Clearance
I think extremely tight clearances like those in pictures posted on this thread are normal (at least I hope so, because both my driver and passenger side are so close that, like the pictures above, it looks like there's contact, though there's not). Actual rubbing can't be normal (and mine don't rub). If yours looks different (i.e., if you can see space between outer tire edge and fender liner), would you mind posting pictures? Thanks.
