Yeah the 255 is a bit of a stretch on a 10.5 but at least you're trying things out! Does it rub on full lock or hit the tire on bumps? I know our inner fenders have a small lip so I am only worried about hitting a large bump and having the fender cut into the tire.

Be more worried about twisting the aluminum fender out of shape.

That's what I thought. Thanks Branden. I wonder if OP had to shave/cut his front fenders?

no prob!!

I dont think so, I have the 20x11.5 et30 on 295 rear and no issues lowered on H&R springs.

For the fronts on 20x10.5 and et of 38 I believe you mentioned? I dont think so unless you did experience rub at full lock?

OP - did you?

The reason we went with the stretch is to prevent this from happening. Even at full lock we have some clearance room and after a lot of driving this weekend (including some auto x), no rub and no marks on the tires to indicate it ever did.

When we first test fitted the 10.5's up front they had 295/30 tires on them and those would have rubbed for sure!

Thank you! I liked the 20x9 and 20x10.5 set up as well but then another local F-Type here saw it and went out and got these EXACT wheels on his. I had to do something to look at least a little different.

Right now there is no rubbing at all so I don't think this will be a problem. We did some very spirited driving and nothing yet.

No rub and you are right, we can not roll our fenders. The rears are double lined making it impossible regardless of material. The front fender (the hood technically) is already "rolled".

Sorry I am slow to respond, but I promise I will always get there eventually!
We will be doing a few more shoots shortly, then we have a track day in 2 weeks and then Hot Import Nights in a month so I should be able to share a ton of videos and pictures before too long!
