Without dragging this thread off the deep end, I wanted to comment on this as I do not believe this is correct. It might bolt up, and might not have any problems under normal operation since the stock ride height has so much gap, but if a person was to drive the car hard enough that they compressed the suspension heavily (track days, etc) it would obliterate the fender when it made contact.

A 255 RE71R is a BIG tire and is the absolute limit of what fits well under stock fenders - with 3.2 degrees of camber it BARELY fits at a low ride height (which is exactly what happens when you compress the soft stock springs).
