Default 17x9 54mm offset rear (sorry to ask) fitment

I dont want to run the 63mm anymore,

I am able to get 54 with the new set up, simply 9mm more so not much at all.

My current camber in the rear is -2.6 per side

Ill run a falken fk452 in 245-40-17

I dont want to roll, cut or relocate anything.

Should be no problem correct. Ride height is slightly tuckin tire in the rear! (so low)

thanks a ton guys.

and yeah yeah I searched and never found a straight answer.

54 is the max I would go as this would allow a 255 with little to no modifications to the body or extra camber. This is still a somewhat safe fitment.

You'll be pushing it. On unrolled fenders, theres a slight chance you will scruff upon compression and rebound since the wheel tends to go"postive" on dips, but this will be a close one though.

Thanks Don,

I can always bump it up to -3.0 rear camber per side

I hope it clear's or I can be safe at 63 again and simply use my 5mm spacers I have sittin doing nothing.

I gotta decide by friday

Hum, when I got David and Don both saying its gonna be close means it will be close

We just dont have anyone around here at all that has a roller. Back in the eg days I was able to roll fenders with ease using a bat wrap;ped in something to not make it metal on metal. Tried this with the s when I first got it and chipped the shit out of the paint so I got pissed and stopped as it wasnt even moving (lol).

I mean if its gonna be that close I oculd simple get the small section where it rubs done or again, just use my 5mm spacers
