It honestly depends on the tire maker and its model, the actual contact patch varies so different. I'm in the crowd where they rub under very specific conditions, but it is livable for me 90% of my driving since I'm solo almost all the time. More here...
4 adult total I'd estimate in the 650-700 lb range (includes me). So I was curious and finally inspected and it's this super minor strip of plastic on the inner driver rear corner that looks to have slightly rubbed (it's between 10 and 11 p.m. if you stared at the rear driver wheel head on)...
Thanks for the tag, I do want to update with more news. It rubs only in the rear (slightly) under all these conditions together:
- Full car of passengers
- Comfort Mode
- On a smooth dip like on a highway
On stock suspension and alignment. Otherwise it's been fine for me as 90% of my driving is...
Looks like another already answered, but I ended up keeping my Type R cargo mat personally. The fitment where it meets the rear seat backing is funky, but I kind of learned to live with it and honestly forgot about it. Pretty clever to get the non-R mat for perfect fitment though!
Yeah, I noticed it when I got in a friend's '19 and can't wait for the piano black trend to go away. If arguably most people don't have piano black in their homes, why would they want it in their vehicles?
Got Dr. Colorchip for my CW. Works well enough for small chips, can't tell from far away, but up close you can see. Next best step below a proper sand fill and repair.
I think it's a lot of factors that ultimately fit into a lifestyle choice.
I know some are always the type to have a new vehicle every 1-2 years period. Others realize they don't drive it as much and are looking to get out of a car payment (esp since last year for lots of work from home...
You shouldn't have any rubbing. I have the same exact wheel specs, and I only rub a -tiny- amount with my 275/35/18 Michelin A/S 3+ tires when I have a full car on Comfort mode over a big dip.
Otherwise I don't rub when by myself, even turning lock to lock under compression.
I'm sure, read pretty good things about these wheels. When I was in the market myself, I almost pulled the trigger on their RF03RR wheels. I see it's still trickier to get them in the states. GLWS
I do wonder though - BBS released their FI-R which to me is the original I can think of in 2015. Titan7 was founded late 2016. Though what made Titan7 appealing is their application range, pricing and strength for its pricepoint, Superspeed is just more of that copying ;).
Interesting but not surprised Seibon is still warrantying through this method. I took a sledgehammer to an Accord CF Hood of theirs years ago for the same purpose.
