how are your soft tissue injuries?

I'm not talking about street. Track usage the Teins are too soft.
For the front if you want to tuck in your front wheels, it doesn't matter the offset really. What it is, is the plastic liner that you have to remove which gets in the way of the suspension movement. When you are cornering hard the wheel comes up and rubs against the liner.

For me I have about a half inch gap from the tire to the wheel well.

I guess you already have a set of Tein Basics?

no wasn't trying to be mean to you, I hear you now, I wasn't sure where you were going with that, yes of course all that can be modified but I will totally agree with you, the teins are way to soft for serious tracking

I have 205/50/15 tires so no worries about rubbing really
