Default So i noticed something today...

When i pull into my drive way on a 30 degree angle I do not scrape...
When i back out on a 30 degree angle i scrape...

When i back in streight i do not scrape...
When i pull out streight i do not scrape...

Guess i need to learn how to back out on an angle better

Those front strakes suck, i think i might remove them. Nothing else rubs or scrapes but them

Yeah, I have the same problem with my passenger side front rolling my fender out. Not sure why only the passenger side does it, but it's annoying. What wheels are you running Jeff? I have LE37T's, 17 x7.5 with a +48, on a 225 45 Tire. How hard is it to roll your fender by yourself?

you can't roll the fronts though, you have to modify the lining or something like that.

Rolling the lip on the fronts will throw off the alignment of your fender liners. All that lip does is provide a mounting point... Just get the near-correct offset and do it right.

That is the correct offset. Straight from Rays Wheels. I will just have to get a set of adjustable dampers, so that I can get rid of some of my bodyroll I guess

Yep. +48 is the best you can do with those, +50 for the CEs.

Yeah, I just try to take an extreme angle for now too, if I have anyone else in the car with me, I just park on the road in front of my house, haha.

The lips also provide some structural rigidity to the fenders. Just a thought before anyone cuts them in half and rolls them up (I did that to gain clearance but regret the mod now)
