Hahaha! Right.....excuse me for not following the cooki cutter trend. I bought the wheels I want and now I have to build/modify around them. If that means trying different tire setups to make them fit better then my all means i will do so. If my fenders get wavy or if the bumpers need to be shaved a couple of hundred thousands of an inch then so be it..no big deal. Car will be painted and any imperfection will be fixed...that's more than a lot of guys on here having tored up fenders. Gotta push the limits. My alignment settings aren't exaggerated like most and that's what I want to avoid.

20x10.5 -16 225/35/20 - I need to pinch, pull a little more, possibly add half a degree negative camber from where I'm at now for the fronts. Bend bumper tab or with an angle grinder remove some material and shave bumper a tad bit.

Rears are 20x11.5 -23. Currently have a 255/35 but swapping them for a 255/30 this week. Maybe pull a little more and that's it. Maybe add half a degree or less of negative camber to match the fronts but I doubt it. Coils are maxed and I'm running 16k fronts and 14k rears.

I'm not even close to those specs and running 5* negative camber. Your fenders all pulled excessively?

Yeah, I haven't decided yet on what I want to accomplish - whether to clear lip or just tire. I have an Eastwood fender roller and a heatgun, it only took 8-10 mins to pull that fender on my first try. When I did my brothers 350z I had to keep un-mounting and re-mounting his rims. This time I already knew how much I needed to pull. From there I removed the strut and jacked the wheel as high as I could to see the end result and how much clearance I had.

You do understand it's the Big Boy offsets I decided to play with not the width of the rim I choose. There are guys with cookie cutter wheels that also run a-arms as well...newb lol
