New pics with air suspension, but rims wont tuck??
Hey guys,
I just finished installing my air suspension this week and I tried test fitting my rims today. Even with all of the fenders rolled, my rims cannot clear the fender and will not tuck. Im not sure what to do
can you guys help me out??
specs:
19x9 +18 2.5in lip
19x10.5 +28 3.75-4" lip
235/35/19
245/35/19
ps. green tape was there so I wont scratch the wheels
here are some pics...

well with such aggressive offsets, you'd need pretty decent camber in the rear to fully tuck the rim, especially with it poking like that. as far as the front, same kinda deal but its just way too flushed out that the amount of neg camber on the front would definitely be detrimental to the tires.
i'm no expert but based on other cars that i've seen tuck that's the only difference i notice.

are they not tucking because the tires/rims are hitting the fenders? or because the suspension wont go lower? I've been reading that some shaving of the mounts is whats needed to lower the car even more... Read through this DIY thread on air ride. The guy had the same stance that you have now and had problems tucking too, then he got some info (that I speak of) to drop it more and tuck:

FIRST OF ALL... garbage your car is friggin blue??? bad@ss ........
For the rears, you would be better off shaving the fender and taking a piece from grant (on VSC) use the telephone book trick to get enough room between the fenders... check vsc for the phone book trick... or basically you might just have to have the rears pulled a little bit and add a little more camber... its not like you are riding at that height anyway, i wouldnt think so atleast.
the fronts may need to have my camber or smaller tire size, (maybe a 225?). or last resort, see about getting a slight pull on them, but then i dont know how the splash guards would work?

man that car is lookin fresh

Im going to try to roll the fender a bit more to see if that helps too. I just dont want to stress the fenders to much, and cause paint cracking. Im just a little frustrated because the person who sold me the rims told me all I need was to roll my fenders in order for the rims to clear...but I will def try the phone book trick

Whoa Those fenders need to be pulled ......... I would have ran 225 tire in the front . To late to shave the rears I guess . shaving the rears and pulling the fronts would be the answer when rolling the front just adjust the roller outwards and that should pull them pretty good .

Just take your time and use a heat gun my fronts are slightly pulled . and my tires are 225 in the front . I just noticed in the pictures you posted who ever rolled your fenders did a lite roll I think you could have rolled some more . But be carefull with the back . the back is more proned to dimpleing.
