Last summer I got over 25 runs in with these DRs and have not noticed any debris on the rear fenders. That being said, bluebeastsrt's suggestion of using painters tape is a good idea. Will probably be doing that going forward as I was probably tempting fate.
One thing to note about the the...
Here are some photos. No rubbing issues.
Note that I only install the Racestar wheels when I go to the strip, usually install the day before and remove them when I return home.
Last June I bought a set of M/T ET Street Rs in the 305/45R17 size. Last summer was my first real serious effort running this car at the drag strip.
My car is a stock '15 GT Premium Automatic with the 3.55:1 axle ratio.
This being my first experience with DRs, these Street Rs are an...

The upgrades were Cobra brakes, unique Tokico shocks, 3/4" lower springs, unique fresh air intake, Ford Performance intake manifold and unique engine calibration. It was conservatively rated at 265 HP due to the '99 Mustang Cobra HP controversy. Regarding the Camaro.....it didn't really matter...
Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant Third Shift To Be Eliminated
Even with the discounts, GM has 4 months of '16/'17 Camaro inventory on their dealer lots. I was expecting a plant shutdown like what happened at FRAP weeks ago, not a total elimination of a shift...
2nd Anniversary + 1 Day
Yesterday was the 2nd Anniversary of when I took delivery of my S550. It is still my daily driver and is kept outdoors 24/7.
After two years, I can say this car is probably the best DD that I have owned.
With the odometer at 26K+ miles, it's been trouble free...
Last year SK, after sitting through their sales pitch, gave out either a 1/2" or 12mm X Frame Wrench.

I also bought a portable cell phone charger at a 'discounted' SEMA price, although I don't think the vendors are allowed to sell their products at SEMA.
Like the previous comments indicated, prepare to do a lot of walking, a LOT of walking.
It will be difficult to see all the booths over two days, especially if you plan to spend a few minutes at select booths or want to participate in some of the OE events.
Ford usually does a good job at...
Jack Pads #1840 or #1830 for the Mustang 6G
Just to clarify, which Jack Pad is recommended for our 2015+ Mustang 6Gs? The 1833 only or will the 1840 work also? Thanks.
Based on what's listed on Cars.com, combined '16 & '17 inventory is at about a 50-55 day sales inventory, assuming the August sales rate.
There are almost twice as many '16 & '17 Camaros in dealer's inventory versus '16 & '17 Mustangs.
Not sure how reliable Cars.com is, but it provides a...
I took this just after 5:00AM this morning at the Ford WHQ. Ford has been celebrating their 2016 LeMans Victory the last couple of days. The office lights should read, GT Wins At Le Mans but the 11th & 12th floor lights were not lit. I will attempt to photoshop them 'On'.

What could happen is that the Grand River assembly plant would have an extended shutdown either as part of the normal July plant shutdown period or sometime in August to adjust '16MY dealer volumes. 2017MY launch is probably on its own time schedule.
Not only did the Mustang outsell the Camaro, the Mustang also outsold the Camaro, CTS & ATS combined, 9,776 to 8,365. This is not good news for GM's Lansing Grand River assembly plant.
The 4,969 Camaro sales are a 43% drop from June 2015.
