What are the widths/offsets you test fit?
I think it's 10.5 +17 in the rear and 9 +?. The front sits flush even with the pull that I have. But I'm gonna rebarrel the front to a 9.5 so I'll be more aggressive in the front too.

I can't even notice your pull in the back. It looks stock!

Cool, same as mine out back (10.5 +18). It looked insane when we first put the wheels on and put the car on the ground. Lip was right at the fender. Had to raise it up a bit otherwise my lips were gonna constantly hit the fender.

Shane did a great job pulling my fenders, just a small pull.

When you bottom out hard pulling into an entrance that you shouldnt have tried.... Do you keep going or back out?

And how much pavement do you have to take with you before they can charge you with destruction of property :/

^Are you asking because this happened to you? Please tell us more.

If my bumper starts to hit the ground in a driveway I'm attempting to enter I just back out. If its just my y-pipe/undercarriage I keep going.

^ if this were facebook, id hit the 'like' button

CandlestickPark, I was pulling in a small store & after it was too late realized I misjudged the steepness. Did the normal scrape & then hit level 2 *haha... Maybe 3. Im pretty sure I was stuck til I hit the gas. The owner was outside the entire time and gave me the evil eye.

I try to not do that obviously & ive put that entrance on a now long list. Not trying to destroy all the entrances in my town & dont wanna give lowered cars a bad rep. It got me wondering though if they could really get me & make me pay to fix it. My guess is probably although I doubt they ever would go through the trouble.

Wish they wouldnt put mountains of asphalt at the entrance of every business around here :/

I'm now destroying the small speed bump in my condo complex on a daily basis! Trading my under carriage for a garage parking spot my new neighbors probably hate me when they hear the deafening metal on pavement scrapage!

I'll be switching from 225/235 tires to 235/245 next weekend so that should keep the scrapping of the subframe/cats/exhaust/rear sway to a minimum

You gotta get your fenders pulled if you want to keep oem camber.

Hell no, you'll need -3 to 3.5 up front and -4.5 to 5 out back to fit those
