My wheels rub :(

Ok i got my 20 inch Work VS-KF put on a few days ago and i hit a bump yesterday and they rubbed pretty bad. Im getting my fenders rolled this afternoon but i wanted to know if i drop it more in the rear would the extra negative camber make the tire miss the fender after it's rolled?
The rear specs are 20x11 +17

by dropping it more, yes you'll increase your camber. This is what I would do.

1. Roll the rear fenders & see if it clears. if it still rubs then...

2. Add more negative camber OR....

3. go ahead & dump it! lol...

With that size, you'll need to roll AND pull your rear fender.

Damn, those are almost the exact specs on the Works i have coming except mine are 10.5's. Looks like my question has been answered...let me know how it is once you roll the fenders. I'm gonna be dropped liike 1.5/1.7 so that should add a bit of negative camber too. What springs are you running and do you have any more pics of the car?

My boy at SGP Racing said i might not need to roll them, that's why i bought them and put'em on before getting the fenders rolled. Anyway, they rolled them for free so we'll see how it does now. Yea i have more pics of the car they are up in the G35 picture share
