Mostly from the camber kits, but stiffer springs would solve the problem

But frankly, I don't even know what you guys MEAN by cutting shock towers and rolling fenders.

I'm running 205/50.

If your gonna drop the gc and koni all the way down Im pretty sure youll need to roll your fenders. Drop it and see if you can turn to full lock. Its up to you if you want to be able to make a full turn. If not hell go lower. But if your gonna wanna be SLAMMED, youll need to look at stretched tires and rolling the fenders. You could probably get away without worrying about fabricating anything yourself, or the reverse, start cutting things you dont need to.... that all being said if you want full function for making complete turns. Thats your choice.

Camber is a good solution to rubbing

This is where my camber kits still bottom out



and this is why my tires dont rub

Camber + offset

I've got a camber kit - I thought those helped?

It's a no name brand on only the fronts - should I have them taken off?


EDIT - oh that makes perfect sense. Good picture, 2tone.. So what exactly does "rolling your fenders" mean?

It basically folds in that "lip" on your fenders that hold in the inner fender so your tires dont rub, but im not running an offset that requires it

my buddy had 15x8s +20 and his fenders werent rolled and he never had a problem with rubbing because of his camber

Remember camber does not cause tires to wear unevenly

Alright guys - that all makes perfect sense. Tomorrow is definitely going to be an experimental day - I really appreciate all of the info and input. I'll be checking back in soon.
