Forget the potholes, its the bumps etcc. I'm rubbing all over the place right now. I never planned on going crazy aggressive on the stance hence the +40 & +45 offsets with 245f & 275r tires. I will be getting it aligned next week and giving it more camber but nothing too crazy - tires are too expensive. Just enough to stop the rubbing hopefully. If I have enough space after that and a fender roll I'll consider spacers. I'll cross that bridge later.

Are you rubbing on the fronts or backs? And how much worse did it get after the Megans?

I'm putting 20" MRR GT1s on mine in about 8 hours, and Megans are ordered. I'm NOT running a staggered offset; 20 x 8.5s all the way around. This way, I can rotate and extend the 245/35 tread life a bit longer.

I dig how it looks now, and I understand about not wanting to go lower because of crappy streets and other clearance issues. I'm not aiming for a super aggressive stance either. I'd turn my head to look at your car

Again, nice looking ride It's your ride: as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

how the hell are you rubbing with those offsets?

i don't rub with mine and i'm a lot more aggressive than you. shaved/rolled fenders in the front perhaps?

I'm not sure. Maybe I have them set too soft or maybe its because my tires aren't stretched. I'll have some time to give it a look today and figure it out.
I think once I give it more camber it'll be taken care of.
PD what size tires are you running?

Front:
20x9 +30 225/35-20

Rear:
20x10.5 +12 245/35-20

tires are Nitto NT555 all around.

You gonna have to roll your fenders.

I'm pretty sure you are correct. Besides PD's tires are obviously stretched plus Nitto's are known to be dimensionally smaller than most other brands anyways.

you should only have to roll the fronts, i ran 8.5 +35 with a 245 in the rear with no problems and had a decent bit of clearance.

Agreed ,fronts only should rub turning on the inner fender lining the rears are fine.

im still lost oh how u can be tucked with those fitments and still b able to turn ur wheel? my my front fenders are shaved and pulled and i have 1% camber and if i go any lower i wont be able to turn by wheel at all, would it be that in running at 245 tire on at 8.5 wheel?
sry dont mean to thread jack, just very puzzled on how u guys do it and still drive it daily

we all have 2nd gen LS, that's how. the 1st gen chassis doesnt have nearly as much clearance in the fenders for bigger wheels, which is why aside from the aesthetic point of view, it's not as popular to put 20"s on the 1st gen.

I have a video but it's 444mb I have have no idea how to reduce it.
Thanks for the baseball bat offer (the thought does make me cringe though). There's a couple local places I can rent the Eastwood roller from.
