^^Not sure what we're looking at...but if all you did was shave down the inner lip of the overfender, then you're AT +25mm. By default, the overfenders do not provide +25mm of width until you cut the lip.

Nope I'm pretty sure they add next to nothing when the lip is not shaved. I've had them installed with and without the lip. With the lip, the overfender sits right up against the oem fender...giving it a wider "look" but not adding any clearance at all.

You have to cut the oem fender AND the overfender lip to get the full +25mm clearance.

thats the impression i got too untill i measured it... when you cut the oem fender you get about 15-20 mm and then the over fender trimmed gives you about 5-10 mm so i guess it all depends on the specific fender that you have cuz sometimes the molds are different.

^^yeah that sounds reasonable...some overfenders might be more "flared" than others.

0 Camber? Oy...that's gonna be tough. I have a custom set of CCW wheels. They are 10 inches wide and will be running a 295 series rear tire but run negative camber for handling purposes.

Yea I was thinking that was gonna be kinda rough. I plan on ordering a concave set of the current 5Zigens I have. How much camber do you think? They're 10 in wide as well.
