Yup! I just spoke to Brandon at VMR. He explained that et33 in the rear will likely rub on anything other than a smooth surface. So I have to get it replaced. My shop is pissed, because they think it looks fine, and I'm sure nobody wants to do twice the work for the same amount of money, but it was a mistake form the time the order was placed (between my shop and the vendor). It happens...
Here's an interesting tid-bit for any of you here that might not know, VMR said the et33 in the rear will likely rub, even on stock suspension. I'm currently running stock M-sport adaptive suspension. So any of you here considering that offset for rear, on VMR's, will likely have to mess with your suspension and roll your fenders, if you want a rub-free drive...
I have 19" VMR ET33 in the rear on a 275 tire. No rub and I am lowered, albeit not super aggressively.
Even over some massive highway dips with a full trunk (literally felt like I caught air on one remote road), I have never rubbed tire in the rear.
