Everyones setup is so nice! I can't wait for my new setup. (1 more week left)
OneandOnly - I see your boosted and I wanted to know how the traction is with the 245's on the rear? I'm deciding on if I should stretch 275's or 255's on my upcoming 19x12's. I might just go with the 255's since I already have a set of track wheels.
JonnyB - Seems like he is running 19's in the front and 20's in the rear?

So heres my problems guys. I keep having my lips on my rims rub the inside of my fender everytime i dip down. I have a couple options:
1. Do a slight pull, but then im thinking i'll be less flush cause the tire will further away frm the fender.
2. Add a 20mm Spacer, lower some more to get some more camber, and then everytime i dip it just hit the tire inside of the rim?
3. Or get some rear camber arms, but then i'll have to order those and get those installed.
4. Or am i supposed to just really stiffen up my setup to where it doesnt dip at all?? cause right now it rides pretty smooth.
Im thinking about going with #2. What do you guys think. Here is what it looks like everytime i go up an incline or have people in the rear and hit a dip.

id say do a slight pulll first...
lower more/adjust camber slightly....
stiffen the suspension...i know it sux but if you dont youll be bouncing all over your set of wheels/tires...
see where your sitting at and then if needed add a small spacer to get rid of any gap between tire/fender....last time i checked your lip of the wheel shouldnt be smashing your fender at all...
your tire hitting/rubbing your fender..not so bad though lol.

Glad those Boss wheels worked out for you Ian. How much brake clearance do those have? Do you think they would clear brembo brakes?
Where is the valve stem hole? Could you put factory TPMS in it?

The only ones I took with the wheels off the car were on my old cell phone but hopefully these help you see the stretch, also please disregard how dirty the wheels are on my jeep, I just tell everyone they are powder coated for now hahaha.
Well I haven't really boosted yet with them since I just installed them but I am assuming my traction won't be great. I would definitely suggest using them to swang n bang and then swapping to track wheels when your ready to do work ya know, but then again there are probably some other guys in here that can help you more in this area that have been riding boosted and stretched.
