    245 section width tires rub in back on the outer fender lip even on stock SVO rims, so yes, they do rub. Hence the reason I rolled the rear lips to prevent cutting the tires. The only times I have rubbed with the TSW's is on one particular large dip on an off-ramp with my car loaded down with ~200 lbs of 'stuff' I was packing for an SVOCA Reunion and one time I lugged (3) passengers to a dinner at another Reunion...it was very minor and the rolled lips didn't even leave a mark on the tires. That was with the stock springs, I have been running the Eibach Pro's since late 2011. As for up front, never had any clearance issues with either the TSW's or Cobra's. Front suspension is stock save for poly bushings, MM caster-camber plates, Eibach 36mm sway and springs.

    Pics of mine with the Cobra's are with the stock springs, all pics with the TSW's are with the Eibach Pro's for reference.

    Thankyou very much!

    Would a slimer tire fit or would it look weird.
    If you blink at the end of the straight away you'll miss the twisties and what fun would that be!

    I would think a narrower tire would work fine, anywhere between the stock 225 & 245 works well on our chassis, IMHO. If you go with an 8" width rim, the 225 will look a little stretched, but not too much. Some Euro imports out there run 225 & 235's on 8" wheels and they look decent. Not sure if TSW offers any 40mm offset wheels with our bolt pattern, but that would tuck them in just a bit more. You would have to verify fit/clearance to the strut body and also at full lock though. I know I don't have much clearance between the rim and strut body with my 35mm offset, but I think there is enough.

    Ah yes, Rob Rover's former SVO with the TSW Snetterton wheels...absolutely gorgeous! I was seriously considering these for mine when looking at the TSW lineup back in 2010 and went for the Nurburgrings. Funny, since I have a pic of this car with mine in the background back at the 2011 SVOCA Reunion below. The car just peeking its tail into view on the far right was running the TSW Indy 500's for reference.
