Funny you should say that, I actually called and talked to Berk, and they said the low offset wasn't recommended...but that just meant more of a challenge for me. I'm running 2.5 degrees negative in the rear, and the rubbing actually got worse with more camber because of the way the bumper connects to the quarter panel.

The wheels are 8 in the front and 9 in the rear, with pretty low offsets. 38F 36R

The fenders on our cars is pretty much impossible to roll completely. There is a glue inside the lip to hold it out as well as more than one layer of metal. You can keep trying over and over to get a few more mm pushed down, which is what I had to do.

It's Riss Racing with custom titanium tips, my friend's shop found them and I drilled some holes and bolted them on.

Either way, rolling fenders on this car is a pain since that bumper is so high on the fender and you can't roll the bumper since it's plastic. I suspect that's where he's rubbing as well based on the pics.

Awesome pics btw, looks hot!
Thanks! You are exactly right about the rolling...it's quite a bitch on our cars.
