as you said it was too fatty as it is a concave design. it would have looked sweet if my ride was bagged but it's my daily and it poked out roughly by 5-10mm. the strut side didn't seem to be the problem. for once my common sense prevailed on my instinct and went 8x18 in front and 9x18 rear. i might lower the rear a bit more as i lowered the tire profile now.
