hey shane, i know you do fender service. do you do pulls and flat rolls like what skaterbasist said below?

what are you dropped on? i'm only dropped on GF210's.

for those with aggressive offsets and stretched tires:

why do i see more of 35 series tires than 30 series?
i mean i see more of 225/35 versus 245/30 for fronts and 255/35 versus 275/30 for rears.

well it all depends on what width the wheels are, i would get a 225/35 on a 9.5 as opposed to a 245/30, if i had like a 10.5 up front i probably would do a 245/30 or a 35 series, same goes for the rear, an 11.5 on a 255/35 would be a nice stretch and for a 275/30 you would need like a 12.5 or 12

Whats up guys, pickin up a set of work t1s +7 r disc front n +0 o disc rear... Got spc cambers in rear nuttin in front, gonna roll the fenders, runnin mild stretch tires. 225/35/20front 255/35/20rear.. Dropped on flex coils.. Should I get the alignment back to oem spec? I dont want the fenders to rub so would i be safer to roll AND pull out fenders? Wanna go to more wider tires since im not that big of a fan of a stretch so im thinkin ill needa pull em out. Thanks for ur help guys

^ ur contradicting urself... 225/35/20 and 255/35/20 are way stretched if ur gonna put em on 9.5 and 10.5... but then u say ur not a big fan of stretch.
oem spec = rub, even if you roll and pull IMO.
i'm no expert but that's what i think.

^^^+1

lips will show on those tires
also your offsets needs a bit of stretch tires to fit

with a +7 you can probably get away with a 235/35? it will also match the 255/35.

heres some examples of my set up:

255/30
285/30 BFG KDW
20x9.5 +18
-1.75?
20x10.5 +9
-3.5 camber slight rubbing driver side



Current:

fronts
225/35-2
-2.35

245/35 -1
coils are a bit compressed to check clearance.
around 5mm clearance or less i think? no rubbing and i rolled the fenders as flat as i can

-3 camber if i recall




Also you need to drop the car or LULz

Cause the cost lol for some odd reason 30series cost more than 35, harder to make i guess!
