Shane,

Thanks for the info, and mounted the spacers, BUT rubbing on the rear passenger side......may have to get a camber kit.

Any ideas?

^^roll you fenders or even do a pull

don't see the need for a camber kit in order to prevent RUBBING, as without a camber kit you have MORE negative camber which reduces the rubbing

May have to do a pull, as the fenders are already rolled.....

^^i would roll you front fenders as well, just to prevent it from rubbing when u go into dips on freeway, the rear i would do a pull, but you can always test fit them and see from there, unless there are some constraints to you doing so

Yes you will rub especially with that camber! If your fenders are SUPER FLAT you can prob fit the rears with about 2.5 camber fronts will also rub mostly on turning slowliy and you make hit the fender metal where the bumper and fender attach so try bending that up!

FYI: My rears are 10.5 +8 with 275 and camber anywhere in the range of 2-3, and its right at the fender. +0 with that camber setting with definitely rub. You'll need a slight pull on the rears, and a flat roll on the fronts
