I have the Type 3s with 9s and 10s and the offset is +45 all around. They do catch the lip in certain circumstances but I think that's only a tire diameter problem. 235/40s up front and 275/35s in the rear.

Houdini, what's "catching the lip" mean? Does this happen on all wheels? Just rears? Just fronts? Let us know. What are the specific circumstances where they "catch the lip"? Thanks.

It catches the fender lip when entering places like driveways when the wheel isn't straight but just on the front fenders. I'm going to have the fenders rolled to avoid this problem. The 235/40s are 0.5" taller than the stock diameter so I think that's the problem.
