And yes... I'll be in town over the weekend. Text me tomorrow night, not sure if I'll be free but I'll try to be... what time is the car show at?

We should, and it would be very bromantic. Are you going to be at Cars & Coffee? Car show is at 11am, I believe.

My car will be dirty as hell tomorrow morning so I may use the early morning to wash up the ride and then meet you at the park for the Brit. car show. I might wash the car tonight if I get back to StL before sunset.

Thanks!! I did roll the rear slightly. I couldn't roll the lip perfectly flat like I did on the front, because of the different fender lip construction... I'm sure you know what I mean. It is hard to explain, but the fender comes down, cuts in at a 90 for about 1/2-inch and then slants upwards again at an angle (not straight up)...

So I bent that slanted portion straight up at a 90 and that gave me enough room to run without a spacer. I rub every once in a while over drastic up-down angulations in the road, but it isn't bad at all. I tried a 5mm spacer in the back, and I was rubbing all the time (mostly on the fender liner) so I took the spacer out. I wonder if it is possible to roll it more than that... You?

what type of angel eyes bulb you running btw sick ride

[t02t]

Yea mine is sorta like that, I had a shop do it for me cuz i dont have the tools but like you they could flatten the front but not so much for the rear.. they could only roll it slightly but the rear fender is still pretty fat, I never tried bending it to 90 degrees but I suppose I can give that a shot my rear is 9.5 +33 on 255/30/19's and the rubbing is acceptable but I guess I'll never track the car on my wheels lol
Thanks for the info!

I had a 5mm in the rear and I was rubbin like crazy! I need stretched tires like you.

[1013mm]

what are you running 225 and 255?

[bogart]

Yeah, 225/40 255/35. Did you pull the rear fenders at all? On the front did you completely cut off the bumper/fender tab? How much were you able to roll the rear fender?

All you need is a baseball bat and a hydraulic jack to do the roll. You can do a pull the fender out with a heat gun/hair dryer, hydraulic jack, and phone book. That will give you an extra 2-5mm of room in the back. Let me know if you need directions on how to do so.

I was at a show yesterday and a guy was interested in your wheel restoration skills. So, I told him I would email him your info, but he just wanted to search the internet, so I told him to search floss ccw and you would pop up. So, he may try to contact you, just fyi.

Great backdrops and car is definitely COTM material, but photography could use work.
