I have my MS-01 17x8/17x9 finally on my car, YEAH !











But it rubs in front when I drive over speedbumps,...there is very little room between fender and tire,...so I guess I'll roll the fenders a little bit.
But they're only a 225/45/17,...I'm wondering how some guys on here fit 235 and 245 in front

Go over speedbumps slower, and in such a manner that both wheels do not corss the bump at exactly the same time. This keeps the entire weight of the car from bouncing down at once.

I have 235s on the front of my lowered FC and unless I hit a speed bump too fast it does not rub during normal driving.

Yeah I know your super sexy car
I was very slow on those speedbumps,...and I just drove there to test if it would rub...and it did, so I guess it would rub when I drive a little faster on some bumpy mountain roads too.
There is really not much room :/

If your tires rub with your fenders when the shocks are at full bump you need to roll your fenders. I have 225s also and I get no rubbing with my 6" springs with the GC coilovers at full height regardless of camber setting (0.5-1.8+). A little more camber might help in your case if you can live with the extra tire wear. Driving slow will probably solve the problem though

But WOW your car looks nice SPEEDDEVIL, these wheels were made for the FC.
