For the record my 245-35-19 and 265-35-19 combo clear perfectly with a fender roll up front and an aggressive shave in the rear. I am on NF210 springs. Hasn't rubbed once even with 4 people in the car.

Do you have pics of them on your car? I have a set and deciding on what they would look like with the NF210 springs on.

Also has anybody wrapped their wheels? Im going to attempt this soon. Just waiting on my material to come in.

I don't have any close-ups from the front or back, but here is one:

I wish I was a 1/2" lower in the front, but it rides great and no rubbing is nice for a daily:

I rolled my front and shaved my rear fenders. Currently got 215/35 and 235/35 with a 19mm adapter. From my understanding isn't the set up going to sit flush? When I slowly lower my car with the jack it seems the rim isn't going to camber in for clearance. Am I gonna need to adjust my camber (stock)?

It'll sit flushed, your rear you'll have to max camber and adjust your toe. You should be good afterwards.

The lower your car, the more that wheel is brought it due to the angle the control arms make.

So yesterday after "maxing out" my camber bolt I still couldn't tuck the tires into the fenders, even though I notice I did get more negative camber.

This is how the wheels sit, jack is removed and fender is basically sitting on the wheel, with a 19mm adapter.

Any clues to what the problem might be?

John9689: Have you tried lowering your car more? It'll probably give you more negative camber. About how many millimeters of tire is sticking out?

No, I haven't rolled my arches yet, I literally only just put them on yesterday, I'll try it once my arches are done
