POST PICS ALREADY!!!

You weren't holding back when you were going for the stretch look. I have 265s, and it has a very nice stretch already. I can't wait to see your setup...the stretch gotta be insane looking.

Anyway today, I finally have time to mess around with the suspension. So I'm going to install the 10mm spacers/longer bolts on the rears, and lower another inch to get zero wheel gap. When all is done, I should be flush and hopefully with zero rubn'.

I'll post pics asap.

He's running H&R springs

He was rubbing with his 5mm spacers, it does not rub w/o spacers though

Hey Zoeb,

As you know, I am going to be running the 275/30/19 with the 5mm spacer. I plan on getting either H&R's or the Tein S.

As you have seen, this setup WILL rub. But what about if I roll the fenders in the rear? Is that the fix?

Thanks again!

To everyone else out there who is thinking about purchasing products from wheeldude.com, don't hesitate! A+ customer service, extremely speedy service, and great products!!! I will personally do business again in the future!

With rolled fenders you'll be fine, even without rolled fenders it's minimal

Welcome to The 818 Club!

We just finished installing the spacers. Now I can officially say, I'm flush as a door nail (w/lip poking 5mm outside the fender), and zero rubbing.

I'll post pics later this week.

Dexter!

You are in CA too? Are you in SOCAL or NORCAL?

You would be the evil twin! I have Starfire Pearl and I got the Silver ones!
