Depends on the offset and tire size but you would need to run the least aggressive offset and smaller tire on a lowered car.

Are you going with 18" or 19"? Staggered, or non-staggered? What tire size?

i am on 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 which is pretty conservative, but the stretch of the tires in my opinion is 'just right' so i am willing to fix the fenders to stay at this tire size. If you dont want to rub you need to run stock sized tires like twenzel does.

thanks i love the roof too :biggrin:

i would say just have a shop roll your fenders.. honestly its not that big of a deal..but your decision :thumbup:

oh yeah also you MIGHT be able to get by if you add some NEG camber

Is there anything to roll on the front fender? Normally there is material to roll the rear, but the fronts usually are tough to get any more clearance.

i was curious, im sure someone knows the answer but i dont feel like searching.. how much more camber can you get out front by removing the "pins" i dont even know what this means but someone please explain ..


yeah there is a bit to roll actually.. i used a socket from a wretch and a rag just to see how it would go haha..a good shop will be able to give you a nice roll without making the fenders bulge much if any which is basically wat is needed for this application.. the rubbing isnt horribly bad
