aggressive fitment - how do I make this work? (pics)

I just got 25mm spacers, and the look is right, but with my current setup, it rubs too much. I think my options are to either run a smaller spacer (not preferred), run more stretched tires, roll the fenders even more than they are currently rolled, raise up the rear a little (not preferred). I already have quite a bit of negative camber from the car being slammed, so I don't think adjusting camber more negatively would be an option.

I am leaning towards rolling the fenders more, but I'm not sure if it would be too much. For those who have experienced this, can you please give me some advice?


Specs: Work VS-XX
19x10.5 +29 Odisk Toyo T1R 275/35/19, 25mm spacer
on Tein Flex coilovers, spring mount mod, 1 spring perch removed, lowest setting

Thanks








Without spacers:

Try using a little common since, if the spacers are to big rather than replacing
the tires or damaging the wheel wells further get smaller spacers. How much
different could it look with 1/2" smaller spacers, sometimes too aggressive
isn't smart!

so you would now be a +4, I would suggest. Rolling your fenders paper thin, and going to a more stretched tire 265/30 19 maybe.

I think you could run some more negative camber.

Try rolling more if possible. Mine are rolled almost flat.
And up your dampener setting. Tein Flex are adjustable dampers right? (sry I'm a Cusco guy so don't know)
Or as mentioned, less aggressive spacers.
275's already stretched enough imo with using 19x10.5's.

Nice look...love it.

Thanks for the input guys. I will probably need to dial in more negative camber and roll my fenders more. I'll post pics when I get this resolved.
