    They're 15's. If I had all the money in the world I would have them professionally painted a nice colour but I was on a tight budget, hence why I reused my old tyres and re-painted them silver myself lol.

    raise the rear 10mm. solve the rubbing issue, then have even arch gaps, which looks better imo!

    It only rubs on the top corners of the bumper surprisingly. I agree with the even arch gap thing but physically the front is still lower lol.

    Yea, I used to rub on the bumper as well. (arches are flat). Although I raised my rear after the defect, now I can actually have people in the back!

    I think wheel arch gaps are most critical, especially when you're as low as you are. Cause the gap is so small, it's easier to see a difference.

    I tend to go for a bit of rake most of the time, but that's also cause I run staggered sizes F to R.

    Still, to this day I haven't had any people in the back lol.

    I might play with it a little on the weekend, I prefer rake too but these wheels just look too ordinary unless some rubber is tucked. I'll raise it a little and post a photo haha
