Thumbs down help keeping me from rubbing~!

17x7.5 +48 (Front) and 17x9 +45 (Rear)
225F/255R tires

MY08 on H&R Coilovers at 350F/350R Lbs. spring rates

The space/gap is approx. : 1-1.5 inches Or 2 fingers.

UK Alignment.

The front is fine... I am planning to roll my REAR fenders... what else is necessary for these not to rub in the rear?

it's difficult to get an answer from the correct form nowadays. i apologize if this is not the correct forum, but i know MANY people from So. Cal run this combination. thanks, in advance.

roll is all you will need to do. unfortunately there's chance that it may make little dimples on the outer side.

if you also do a pull on the rear fender, that would actually be changing the whole shape.

If you roll the rear and it isnt enough, try more camber. But just rolling should be enough.

Rolling the rear is all that would be needed. The fronts are safe.

You can PM smirf05s2k to roll the rears

nah you dont NEED to cut, roll is enough

I have the same set up for the rear, I'm more slammed on coilovers and probably 2.5 camber

hmmm...not sure, but i assume you could, but why would you still need to?.....and the only reason why i prefer to cut instead of roll is that it looks much cleaner from the outside...when you roll, there is a chance that you could crack the paint...idk, thats my opinion

that's correct, you can cut the bumper and relocated the tab with a dremel, very simple job
