Default Quick question on wheel spacers..

I have my fenders rolled to the max almost, plus it's dropped so that the tire tucks in just slightly. I tried putting spacers on to space out the wheels a bit, but it was slightly hitting the fender by just a little bit. Now say I raise up the car a little bit higher, do you think my wheels will clear with spacers?

What are your wheel offsets, widths, and tire size?

Negative camber is your friend.

it all depends on the tires you run. i know a friend that runs r-compounds on the street in his evo with camber of 3*F and 2ish*R. still gets the advertised 8000 miles out of them.

i have been running 1.5* of camber in the rear on my car and tire wear is not very noticeable at all. only slightly and thats after about 6000 miles.
