Care to elaborate on your set up? - Car looks awesome BTW 
Were all the fenders rolled, what is your alignment spec, where is the rubbing specifically, any rubbing at full lock, what brand of tires? - Anything else I didn't think of

Balrok - Details plese!
The car looks awesome!
How much fender & liner massaging had to be done, and how agressive is the alignment?
How much space is there for front caliper clearance with this setup compared to a +27 in the front with a smaller spacer?
Based on your experience fitting the 285's how well do you think a set of 255/35's would fit the stock wells?

Thanks  Rear fender lip/roll is all I have done, Camber is about -2.9 up front. Above average massaging to the front wheel wells, a heat gun and a 2x4 (any block)/hammer is all you need, can't even tell until you get up in there. Compared to a +27 I can't answer, as I've never had +27's. 285 is the largest I'd go, be warry on what 285's though. My R1's are actually .5 inches wider then normal R-compounds in the same size, so i'm rubbing my rear control arms...but BAIRLY, however enough to cause smoke @ 50mph. So if you like em fat, a rear spacer is needed to. 255's would fit perfect, i'd say any 275 or smaller would for that matter. I got this setup because it was the largest/fattest I'd want to go, and those are the only bugs I found, any less and you're golden. Robi/Scott have some killer deals on the wheels too

Thanks. +38's is the happy medium which should be easy to find on the 17's, no spacer required but ya you'll have to roll the rear fenders.
