Done a couple of laps now at Nürburgring and has experienced the infamous rubbing in the front. Se picture.
But there also seems to be issues in the rear right. A friend of my have the same issue with his RS and draw attention to it.
it is the rear fenders inside that touches the tire, leaving a mark on the tire and the fender is black of rubber.
I believe that the problems occurs in the the fast downhill right handers "Before Schwedenkreutz" and Fuchsröhre.
Looks like the front tire is slowly digesting the indicator.
FYI: The car is completely original except for the 4 dl oil I have put in it.
UPDATE There is a Service action: 28-16 (Workshop manual/4X00)
As I understand it they check the wheel alignment so it is original.
In the front they replace the liners with new liners that are modified with heat by the Porsche Workshop.
The plastic mesh in the fenders are removed.
In the rear the fenders are rolled to give more clearance. (FWIW: My dealer did not have the tools for that.)
This is where the tire seems to touch the inside of the rear fender:
Marks on the tire:
Since I also use my RS in rain this is not going to be so good...

Reason: Updated with Service Action info
There's a bulletin floating around on the rubbing issue. Have your alignment and ride height verified by a competent shop - no guarantee car left factory with proper specs.
Just to be clear: The setup is not verified, it is just as it came from factory. I'm going to check with my dealer if they have any information about this.
Stock my front rubbed at about 75% to full lock either side. Think PAG really tried hard to give this car the biggest baddest tire around.
I'm surprised that Porsche didn't see this during testing. Seem like a modified front fender well can fix the front. Rear would be a bit harder other then checking alignment for being off.

I believe that they will roll the rear fenders to give room.
In the front it will not help with new liners since even the indicator behind the liner get rubbed (I think).
in pff.de there is a discussion about it on 30pages. no result. but it seems that 2016 deliveries do not have it that much. are higher. have different alignments.
They really gone on/over the edge with tire/rideheight/alignments. and this is stock and has German Tüv.
better to have it like this instead a 10cm gap between tire and fenders (as on the 458 in stock for example).

10CM? Woulen't that severally limit track and road setups unless they ligt the car maybe another 5CM? Addendum - getting my metric and imperial fouled up. I was think how tough it would be for 10MM which is quite smaller than 10
But then I'm not totally into the ins and outs of Ttack setup. I feel Ferrari filled out the wheel wells, as in Porsche, with take wheels and small series tires.

This is why many of us are asking for "Cup" edition. It doesn't do much good to have an adjustable suspension that you can't adjust or center-lock wheels that take two people and 45mins to mount and dismount or brake calipers that need to be dissembled to change pads.....
