Reason why I say professionally is to avoid dimples.

I notice the two layers of metal today and I thought I destroyed my fender lol Thank You very much chrispy...I think your advice will make my rims tuck by next week

I have a roller so I wont be needing a bat lol

'chispy' is right mike,

when you told me you rolled your fenders i didnt realize how light of a "roll" it really was...

you should be able to achieve this stance if your wheel is completely tucked...this is obviously on my 20's

Forced? Doesn't sound healthy. Might ruin his rims.

thanks for pics Garbage. I was thinking about the 235/245 combo. You made it easier for me. What brand tires are you running?

I am running the 19x9 +25 front right with 32 mil spacers on wider fenders 19x9 -7 offset and this is how my front sits .... check that upper control arm ? see if it is hitting and not allowing lower drop ?

as pictured I have 2 mils away from the inner fender lip but wont shave fiberglass ... if metal I would ..

If you can tell it pokes perfectly ... but wont go any lower I would be the extra 25 mil drop if added camber ...

put tape on top of your wheel and see where it rubs , I did that and for the rear I seen it rubbed right as where the slop in the back part of the upper part was ..

as for the front it came out right ... no needed adjustments
