y33 fender question??

Is it asking to much to try and get 1.9" of more clearance from the stock fender w/o needing add ons etc? I assume that if I flip the lip and work the fender that I should be able to take most of that up and then a little more aggressive stretch and camber combo should do the rest I think?? Thanks

if you're pulling the rear that much, be aware that you might get an indentation in your fender. mine are barely pulled (by newspaper) and i have a shallow concavities on the rear quarter panels now.

thats what I was afraid of. What if I only do about a 1.2" pull? I could camber and stretch the rest maybe??

was looking at an 11 wide -1 in the rear but would like to not have to run a ton of camber since it is my daily and I need to pick up clients in it etc...

hmmm....

i have an 11.5 +2 in the rear and it's not that bad. with a 235 width XL 40 series tire (for 18") or a 245 width 35 series tire, you'll be able to do it with a mild, mild pull and -6* or -6.5* camber.

alternatively, you can be a bitch like me and shave down the pad, hahaha!

Dam you, nice Equips...always rockin pimp wheels, but how much fender pulling did you need for that set up? Thank all. looks like I won't need nearly as much fender work to pull that off as I once thought then...

not much, the fenders are pulled to the max...depending on the type of fitment you are going for you should have a couple mm to spare but you should not have two many problems with a modest stretch and camber

i will get you new camber specs when i take my car for an alignment

You should be okay with a roll, decently stretched tire, and a tad bit more camber than the natural camber you get just by lowering. I've seen 19x10 -29 which has 15mm more poke than 11 -1 and it was done with just a roll, -7.5 camber and a 245/35/19.
