I hope you don't go around looking at peoples to verify that hypothesis but thanks I think I'm finally settled on the perfect setup.

Btw, Hai, the wheels doesn't look pushed out anymore like I told you last night. They are 100% flush with the fenders now probably becuase the suspension settled in more

Nice! I'll have to come look at it, and go over alignment settings with you, maybe this weekend.

Yeah but the tokico d-spec full suspension ended up dropping me 1.25", actually maybe a bit more than that lol. Some people say it only drops ~1" which is totally bogus

Anyway this morning I was rubbing 2 times on the freeway and I thought it was my camber but turns out it's the toe so I just need to correct that a bit. Under normal driving and bumps it's fine but if I hit a dip hard it'll rub on the rear bumper - not the fender.

Take care and keep riding dirty!!!

Some new pics as promised!

Notice how much we rolled that fender? lol now I can run -2.0 (max of the OE spec) so I can retain good tire wear :BOUNCE: It's not that noticeable - no one notice it until it's pointed out to them...I see it as my homemade WIDEBODY! Haha

haha yeah but it's definitely not noticeable to others and it makes it look wider. I think fitting better offsets and bigger tires in is worth it for sure You got any pics of yours bro? I wanna see if your fenders flared out as much as mine and compare. I still rub (rarely) in sudden deep dips on the freeway. I gotta see if I can roll it more but I think I maxed it out already.

I really can't tell what you did there, did you roll some of the outside panel up? What not do just a little pull?

Thanks Solei! Have you gotten new wheels since we last talk? I wanna see what your new setup is like!

Not if you do it slowly and cautiously. We heated the paint up really well and did it in increments. Hai was extra careful with it. The initial roll took at least 2 hours - maybe even 3 hours if I remember correctly. This roll took almost 45 minutes so there is a lot of time involved if you don't want your paint to crack. You definitely can't just come in with a roll and slam it up in there

When you roll the fenders, you are rolling the inside edge of the panel up so it doesn't stick out horizontally anymore (this is how your tires get cuts when it rubs). Naturally when you roll it, the panel is pushed outwards a few milimeters hence that is what you see in the picture.

That picture is taken at the most extreme angel to show you the fenders were rolled but normally - like in the other pictures I posted - you can't even tell. See? This is the OLD setup but if you look at the quarterpanel you can't really tell it is any different then a stock one.
