As every one said... you will get some minor rub on the plastic inner fenders when you go over speed bumps...

You can massage the plastic fender or do what must people do... let them wear off....

BTW, nice choice of wheels and street tires.

ahh, well thanks, I was looking for the lightest weight 17s (no heavier then the 15lb 15" stock steels) that were a brand I recognized and the best reviewed tires for "Ultra High Performance Summer" (as opposed to "Extreme Performance Summer") also a brand i recognized... I plan on keeping the stock steels as winter wheels and these as summer wheels. Unfortunately the money will be coming in for these in December so I'll have to wait to put them on for a few months (which will bug the shit outta me lol). I'm still not positive that these will be the ones I get, however, it sounds like a good setup. Any one else have any advice? I can't hardly wait, it's going to look and drive so awesome!

That's almost the exact setup I have, even the same tire. The only difference is I have Tein S-Tech's and a 205/40 tire size. It doesn't ever rub during normal driving, even at full lock. If you try really hard it does rub the plastic a tiny bit in the front (high speed corners with the suspension fully compressed).

My only suggestion would be to look into the Yoko's S.Drive instead of the Parada's.

The S.drives are newer and superior all around than the parada's. Even though they don't look as aggressive.

The Enkeis are forged, high quality and light wheels. You can't go wrong with them.
