do your wheels rub in the front at all when trying to do sharp turns? i have 17x9 cobra R's and the inside of the wheel rubs when turning sharp in either direction. Looks good, those wheels are nice, they make me think of the FR-500's. your car looks virtually how mines on its way to, minus the wheels. two thumbs up.

I'm lowering my car propbaly early next week. I'll see if that makes some sort of difference. My wheels rub so bad in sharp turn it has made my car hop before. Completely took off the chrome plating on the inside of my driver side wheel. I'm hoping to find someone willing to trade my 17x9's for some 17x8's 4 lugs.
