Very nice. 245 was my go to dimension, but im at 235 now and it scrubs already in heavy corners, my front fenders are already blank. Had to cut out the rear fender liner aswell.

I can imagine. ET44 & 45 on a 8,5 wide wheel is pushing it on these cars. I just about managed without any scraping thanks to the agressive negative camber of 3 degrees on all four corners

Ahh, Camber is what saved you then. Didnt catch that.
I would need only a bit more camber on the front to not scrub, but there is no way to adjust it without an an expensive coilover. Sadly already have one.
My next wheels would be ET50, maybe i get a 245 unter it then.
