Nice looking wheels!

Wow, with a 22 offset, they stick out 13mm more than stock. Would love to see a shot from the rear of the car, to see how aggressive it looks. Hopefully all the extra stuff thrown up in the winter won't get too messy with that stance.

As far as the rub, I'm not surprised...

If you compare the two tires' Tread Widths, you'll see that too: The PA4's is 9.5" whereas the PSS is 8.8". It goes away after a few thousand miles of driving, and has caused no damage on the plastic.
