^nah man, fender gap, spacers or tire size isn't the problem. I was just wondering how you'll be able to ride with a poke and mild camber, like the one in the pic, without the rim banging up on the fender.

Yes I know that was your question..I thought it was answered...a stiff dampened suspension..and careful driving =)I was just giving a solution since you had brought up the whole rim cambered to fender on others cars and how johnnys tire would have gap if he cambered it in and would have to space it out..that's all..many people drive lower than that with fender almost touching rim and do it daily..with no fender damage..its just a change of driving habitand a good suspension....

And about the vs-xx bringing it out to -13 would be sick but you will definitely have to do some tire stretching,camber and pulling..if you look up the lakeshore g35 coupe on white varrstoens he's running -13 front and -18 rear on same size wheels with a 215 front and 235 rear..in my opinion..perrrrfect..and he daily drives it with tire sidewall touching fender..slammed..I know cause I talked to him..probably not practical for daily but depends on where you go and how you drive..doable though.

having an issue with rubbing, but fenders have been rolled and pinched almost paper thin on a sedan...i think what is rubbing is either the front screw or back screw (middle screw and clip removed) or both...can i just take out front screw and clip? dont want my fender liner to hang and eventually get ripped off

1 guy is running a 225 front on a 9.5 with -6 offset with rolling/pulling and shave but looks like he has some space to go wider..johhnybeastfoo was running a 9.5 front with -10 offset on 235 with just fender rolling...i dont know why the difference..guess they have different camber settings which may be why 1 is more aggressive and required more work..maybe someone with these/close to these offsets can chime in.


and yes i would get a camber kit just to be able to adjust...but id see how it sits before you get/install camber kit cause natural camber might be enough to clear with fender work..

^ if you want your wheels to look like that, you'll have to roll fenders and lower your car. There's no other possible way of achieving that look. FYI, he's now currently at -3mm front, and -2 rear. ..sick isn't it?

Is it possible to run the 07/08 split 5-spoke wheels on a 1st gen AWD? I'm thinking I might try and put some one eventually, but I don't wanna tear apart my AWD system haha.

Like deesflip said no other way but stretching tires..fender roll and lowwwww...if you don't want to roll fenders you'll have to run around a +22 offset on the normal 9.5/10.5 setup..and run around a 245/275 tire setup..

I have a 20x10 +20 in the rear, with a 275/30/20, lowered on Tanabe Coilovers. The way the coilovers are set now, there is about 1.50 inches so far, and the coilovers have about 2 more inches to go in the rear. If I lower the car down and more, will I need to roll rear fenders?
