That is why you add camber silly. Apparently you have none right now, otherwise you would not have any rubbing issues with your current setup. 10mm is not that much, and if keep in mind, different brands of tires have wider or narrower contact patches so just because a tire is a xx 245 or xx255 tire, doesn't necessarily dictate that when it's stretched, that it will be as "wide" as the other.

People on here ALL DAY LONG said that my setup could NOT be done. And look how easy it was. it's all in the math.
my car was corner-balanced and aligned. front = 2.4deg camber, rear 3.3deg. will probably go ~3deg in front in the near future, but there's still no way in hell it would clear those wheels.

thanks for the offer though.

Why are you so afraid to roll the rear lips up on the fender? The fronts don't need to be done, just the rears. I used the eastwood fender roller, first time, did it myself in about 1 hour and a half with a heat gun. paint is perfect, roll is perfect and i'm set to roll my new wheels +31 OFFSET REARS!

true... but might as well "trade" for a set of equivalent price, rather than pay for the powder coat i figure.

besides, i'm sure some people prefer the le28's, and it's a lot harder to take all black rims then make them have polished lips.
