and notice how the rear quarter has been cut and pulled! look at the rear fenderwell area right where the rear bumper cover should meet up. And in the front, you can see where the tire still catches the fender on the front end of the fenderwell.

Might as well pull the turbo off the car Scott...those tires stretched that far and leaning -4* won't be of any use to you. The tread is where traction is made, not the sidewall. :PDT_Armataz_01_05:

Good luck with your endeavor...you're gonna need it (an air saw will be your best friend on this one). BTW- Kirn has one of the fender rolling 'machines' that he'd rent out. If you want his number text me.

I'll let yah know if Donnie doesn't come through. I honestly want a more inclined body shop to do the fender rolling than myself.


and yeah I know traction won't be in my favor at all, but I don't even drive the car enough or get on it enough to worry about this. Plus I'll still have 4 other sets of wheels/tires I can throw back on it anytime I want to go "race"

Just wanna do something different for around this area, and im getting tired of all my oem wheels, lol. plus i've always been a big fan of the look.

-4, shit my car is at -4 with pulled and modified fenders and I couldn't fit +0's if I tried. He's going to need alot more camber then that and more - camber then you'll get out of any sk2 camber kit

i was thinking about this today while playing with one of our display wheel bearings. just based on how well they spin when placed vertical vs horizontal, this kind of camber is going to buuuurn those up real quick.

nah, guy who was suppose to roll fenders has been swamped with cars, so I think hes going to let me borrow his fender roller.

If so, I hope to get it from him this week.
