that is, if you want to protect the wheel lip on your ~$2200 investment on wheels!


Just to show you how wide the S03's are and the "extra" wheel lip protection it has...notice that extra rubber around the wheels...

notice the depth of the wheel in the tires?

both wheels...

Oh and btw, I like my ride height, its my choice, it works for me and my driving style and lifestyle (I have a family and we frequently load stuff and make weekend trips) so please dont even bother saying its "...too high...", or "...allroad height...", or "...SSR's on an Allroad...", etc, etc...but I appreciate your comments. If I were single and renting an apartment (or own a house) and hate having passengers then I'll have the "Slammed" look!

Have a nice day! Its gorgeous out here in the East Coast so enjoy it while you can!

Peace!

Do they rub and did you roll the fenders? What offset did you get?

Nope, sorry, still not working (for me at least). I'd like to see if possible though.
