Any rubbing?
We sell lots of the Rota MC, and with regular non-coilover shocks and lowering springs, we don't have trouble with rubbing with up to a 225/35R18 tire.

Nope, they only come in 18x8. You could get some real LMs in a 17, though. (Not sure about a 17x8.) :D

I actually like it with the black sills and arches. But I'd like the black to continue to the sides and lip spoiler on the front bumper.
