I got a 95 ex coupe jic flat1 coilovers put mickey thompson 24.5x10 on last year and they hit the fenders and cut into the slick. The jic's are as high as i can take them wanted to see what others are doing to clear the fender. Dont really want to use flares but if i have to anyone know of ones that are of good quality? Dont want to use the fiberglass ones unless that is all that is available.

Well they were on bogarts. I saw how close they were so i knew not to jam on the brakes so i tapped them but still hit the passenger one took it the worst the lip on the inside of the fender that is used for the liner cut the slick
. So now im doing the full eurathane bushing kit hoping this will stiffen up a bit. I want something that looks good I like my car to be fast but still look good so hammer is out. Would really like fenders that are flared a bit. Just wanted to see what everyone else was doing to avoid this. I thought of going to a smaller slick but with me being turbo everyone was saying that i dont have enough gearing for a smaller slick (gsr tranny kaaz diff). What sizes are you guys using with a turbo setup?

What is everyone running as far as suspension to clear 24.5 slicks? Is it because of the bogart rim that it hit? Or is everyones suspension setup top secret? Any help would be nice. I am going with a custom fenders flaring out stock ones just curious as to how everyone is addressing this issue I know I cant be the only one with this problem.
Thanks
