I had the same setup with the GF210's as well. no need for extensive amount of negative camber and no fender roll required. just get a nice low offset of around +15 and you'll be good.

no, I got my rears down to the +15 offset, and I noticed when I went to make them +10 that I would at that point need to roll my fenders.

You roll the inside of the fender lip that sticks out....gives a little more clearance so the tires dont rub.

+1 ... it could also actually cut your tires. The inside of the stock rear fender is sharp enough to do it.

it might fit w/out fender rolling but do you really want to wait for a bump in the road or a fast turn to find out? i would definately consider rolling the fender with those sizes.

What are the offsets of the wheels? Can't really listen to any of these suggestions without listing that first.
