Default Played around with fitment...

Yesterday I decided to dial In my rear fitment... Wheels have a 25mm offset they are now spaced out to -1... I think it worked out perfect... Rear qrtrs are shaved flat... Let me know what you think....

The wheel lip isn't supposed to be on the outside of the fender. Now your suspension can only travel to the point of the body landing on the wheel when hitting any kind of bump.

He's on air, so I'm sure he'll be alright

seivonecsu - How did you go about shaving the fender completely flat without the panels separating?

If it didn't catch the lip of the tire it would be a lot smoother...
