My rears are the same way. My 20x11 -5 hit the inner fender lip and are scratched up after less than a month of owning the wheels. I'm not that great with a fender roller so I tried pulling the fenders in the rear a lil but they just wrinkled a little bit and didn't turn out even (just like on my previous s13). At this point I don't really care anymore lol, the look is worth it. Luckily the scratches can be sanded down and buffed out and you'd never know but it still kinda sucks. I kinda want different wheels already anyways, so it doesn't bother me that much.

its a little teaser of my G after i rerolled but ended up flaring the rear
im on df210 right now just waiting to pick up some coilover, pic is taken on a incline in my drive way just to see how it will sit once i dump it

20x11 -19 255/35

I'll post up more pic within the next couple week or when ever i think i have good updates.

hatchboi do you have any pic of your setup? if you do but dont want to post cause it still under construction do you mind PM'n me some i want to get an idea of your setup since you are running something similar
I tried 255.35.20 at first on my 20x11 -5 and it didn't clear for **** on my Z. Maybe the G has more room but my tire would have for sure hit the part where the bumper and fender meet, no question about it. I switched to a 255.30.20 and problem solved, WAY more clearance. 35 series in the rear of our cars with aggressive 20s aint gonna work in my opinion. Your fenders have a nice flair so I dunno if thats enough to clear when you try to get in and out of driveways or going into a shopping center that has a steep incline. My car when compressing one corner in those situations hits the lip of the wheel even with pretty damn stiff coilovers. I even tried running up to -6 degrees camber in the rear and the lip would still hit my fenders. 20s with negative offsets aint no joke, they are much harder to get to fit without any issues than 19s. I am running rear camber and toe arms on my Z and its currently sitting at -4.6 degrees camber driver rear and -4.9 degrees pass rear. The one solution I did find to avoid hitting the rear lip on a steep incline is to go in perfectly straight instead of at an angle. The 20s give good ground clearance so I don't scrape my exhaust or anything which is nice.

you should do what i did on my aftermarket front fender just shave the whole entire lip off and you will gaiin plenty of clearance. Thats what i had to do on my eclipse cause i didnt have any front camber so i trim everything off and clear bout 10mm just enough to where i can turn my wheel with out hitting the fender at my ride height

245/30's were put on yesterday so now I'm 245/30/20 up front and 275/30/20 out back. The wheels are 20x9.5 +13 and 20x11 +6. I'm on Function & Form Type II coilovers, don't know how much I'm lowered.

The 30's up front definitely gave me room to slam the front a little more however.

power to you if you can get them to work without camber arms but i got pretty much everything i needed to adjust camber and toe to make life more easier for me (but that wasnt the case, sh*t was still a pain). 245/35 worked for me but naggar went with 255/30 and worked for him. im not worried about being judge with my retarded looking pull (cut the fender when i didnt know nothing bout fitment and lost the fenders structure so that why it looks like that) and cut tires so i took some pictures today to help you out while i was putting my front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper on. old cut tires will be replace, rear fenders will be fixed and repainted (might even repaint the car, duno yet), and car will be washed. i highly suggest if any of you guys have a lot of camber as i do and want your toe back to specs, get the battle version toe arm that replaces the spring bucket. i am currently running -5.5 camber in the back and my toe is all the way back into specs with the help of those battle version toe arms.









this pictures was when i was rushing to get to the hooters meet down here and i didnt have time to adjust the camber arms so that why my tires are cut up from the fenders. the car is lower in the rear a little more now but you can see how much it pokes before the pull.

Thought u guys might enjoy this (sorry for the shitty phone pics) but this could be one of the best s15s in Aus. It has the JUN catalogue pumped into it including the JUN 2.2l stroker kit. Sorry dont no much on the specs of the wheels but its a pretty rude offset considering its full widebody.



And a lil look see under the bonnet mmmmmm
