Love your ride man!
I haven't posted mine in a while, probably the last full shots until after the color change

I am running 17x9+45 with 245/40 tires. I lowered my car more and when I go up inclines where I have to angle, it hits my fender and it kinda bent my fender out (even tho I already had it rolled and the tabs bent up). The fender caught on to the tire and crumpled it and also shredded chunks of my tire out. Any advice on how I should go about fixing my fenders and also on how I should set it so it won't catch on my fenders again? (I haven't gotten aligned yet and I've been told to run more negative camber up front and I would be ok) I have raised the car to have 1.5 finger gap up front while the rear has less than 1. What allignment specs could I run if I wanted to lower the front to 1 finger gap?
example of pulled fenders up front:

Believe it or not, some of us are pioneer's we actually don't look at others peoples cars and say oh they can fit that wheel oh I'll do it to! NO... We work hard we grab a damn old school tape measure, take measurements of wheel offsets do calculations with camber in mind and rebound/compression e.t.c there are alot of variable in formulas to get that perfect fitment with said tire size to really make it OUR own. Why are we gonna do all those countless hours of research and study/modification so that another guy can send a P.M ask for offsets/size/tire and BAM all done he now has a perfect setup that someone put al their effort into creating...
Make sense!? I personally don't care, you can see all my info in my build thread. I know your not exactly directing your statement towards me but this is what's up. It's like selling something you designed for free...

Listen, not everyone has to be an asshole, you can help other people you know. And im not asking because im lazy to do the work myself some people are just curious to compare with what other people have. To makes things clear for you...
1)thats the whole point of this thread is to see what sizes and offsets people are running and see what works and what doesnt
2) OP asks to please post sizes and offsets.
3) I know some people dont want to post sizes and thats fine i know they worked hard to find it but for someone to just ask about an OP and then the OP replies with the specs just defeats the purpose of not posting in the first place.
Im not an idiot or lazy, I know people work hard on finding correct offsets and everything else so dont talk to me as if i am ignorant on the situation. No need to be a dick
