Do you think this is enough to put on a 10mm-15mm Spacers.....Looks like I have just about that much to it the outer side wall of the quarter panel when I roll them.

Btw, this is the clearance on my rear wheels, Maya STM with 285-35....May be, 275-35 would leave better room in the future :burnO:

Looks pretty close right now. If they don't rub now you can probably add
10mm spacer when fenders are rolled. Have you had your camber adjusted for being lowered? Can make a difference...

You can't get the front as flush as the back.... I like it when they look about the same (front & back) vs the back being at the edge and the front tucked farther in. But that's just me.

aleok - yes, I know my offsets. I'm asking because of the other reason that requires me to have the 10mm spacer

Mondo - Yes, I have SPC rear kit and this is pretty negative (-1.8 degree) i think.

I'll prolly shave the inner well and flare it out a little.

what exactly are you trying to accomplish? The rear camber seems to be more than -1.8. Once you correct it properly your tires will be flushed with the inner fender lips and there will be no need for spacers, if that's what you're trying to do.

If you want a more agressive stance, roll your fenders first (do not shave them), correct the camber, then measure how much room you got between the tire and the inner fender, then you can use a narrower tire (ie. 275), measure again and then put on the spacers. As a rule of thumb when you roll your fenders and go down one size in tires, you can easily use 10 - 15mm giving you a fuller and more agressive look in the rear.

hes not looking to correct his camber. he needs a 10mm - 15mm spacer for other reasons. with the way his wheels are now do you think he can get a 10 - 15mm spacer in there without a problem if he rolls the fenders andand maybe flares them a little

Thanks D for making it 10x clearer.

If you roll your fenders, you might be able to make 10mm work...looks like it'd be real close though.

Should fit with a tight roll, it will likely crack the paint though if you do, so be ready to repaint

you can always torch it while rolling. my fenders got rolled that way. no cracked paint and a crazy tight roll.

Any pics? Mines only a partial roll as I didn't want to chance it.

when rolling fenders, you must heat up the panel/area rolling in order to prevent cracking.

Of course, we are talking about a tight roll though, where you are bending the lip almost 90 degrees vertical. This is where heat won't necessarily save you from paint cracking. I've done enough research to know that doing so is the most dangerous part of the whole procedure, the paint when its warmed up can stretch quite a bit, but 90 degrees is getting towards the limit of safety when it comes to cracking

thanks guys, I'll try and see. I'm not going for the look, I'm trying to fit this over the BBK i'm getting.

If needed, I may end up shaving it instead.
