I was happying with them for maybe 12 hrs...... Until I discover that the front tyres are rubbing! Sad. Definitely offset issues in for the front wheels. The same tyres with the ten split didn't rub at all.......

You can't seem to get a break with your rims.

Jorge from wheel addict supposed to be talking to Morr on that but haven't heard back yet.....

RC3 · 11-23-2011, 07:45 AM

Jorge again.... But this time is Morr's issue.

Jorge has been great this time around.

But let's see what workaround they suggest first.

OK. Jorge suggested going with a smaller tyre size. And WK was kind enough to loan me a pair 245/35/20 tyres to test. And I confirm that there is no rubbing any more

Unfortunately, HK does not have PSS in that size, so I have to put on PZero Hero.

I loved the PSS!

Glad u worked things out mlai! Congrats!

mlai · 11-27-2011, 03:40 AM

Put on the 245s for the front and took a few snaps. Car finally looks ok to me

Added benefits

At hotel Valet parkings, they park my car near the entrance with the Lambos, Bentleys, Ferraris... I asked the valet people why and they told me they don't want to scratch the wheels

Hahaha that's why! I kept on wondering why they do this too. So far I've tried valet parking at Island Shangrila, Peninsula, Conrad, and Intercontinental. All 4 parked my car upfront

Morr is quickly becoming one of the premier wheel manufacturers. They make really good rims!!!

RC3 · 11-27-2011, 08:31 AM

mlai, with your 245s. They don't dare park elsewhere. Bro, you better beware on parallel parking with the skinny tires.

grimlock · 11-27-2011, 09:18 AM

I can't believe the valets know what Morr is!

Mlai, if you really want to keep the PSS, you can think about increasing camber on the fronts, it is adjustable. Just don't know how much you need to increase, to make the ~5mm difference it seems with your change of tires. Also, the car is set with lots of negative camber (top out) on the front, but not back, increasing camber is something one could consider for its own merits, for better balance and less understeer (I'm no expert, just internet knowledge as usual hehe).

Yes. Very happy. But I advice you guys to note that the spec of the front wheels that you sent me will allow 245/35/20 tyres only and 255/35/20 will not fit without rolling fenders
