being in body shop for a bit, i will say that cutting out weld seams, you will lose all strength from the fenders.

my black Z would be the one with the messed up fender pulled with the fenders cut. i personally dont think nothing is wrong with cut fenders as long as you dont plan on going with very aggressive offset. if you do go very aggressive then you will need to pull the fenders and you will run into problems since you lose the strength in you fenders. i didnt know anything about fitment at the time so i messed everything up. no worries next time you see pictures of my Z all will be fixed

If I recall correctly he once told me -6.

I FINALLY installed my SPC rear camber arms and got an alignment. I was at -4.5 but now i'm at -5 camber. All that mattered to me was making sure my toe was in spec. Even after the alignment my driver side would rub, so i went home and did some more pulling. Sadly enough I pulled to the point where my fender roller couldnt handle and broke on me. But all in all, everything is good now. I might be raising up my car because I work downtown and my work ramp is not permitting me entry... Lol. I get STUCK!

I was gonna do 255 on my 12" but I decided not to. I think its a little too much stretch for me. But it will def work. Just a preference.

Oh yeah, and another thing.. When I was getting aligned, the guy let me go down to get eye level with the wheel and see how it was sitting.. OMFG, only half of my tire was touching the ground.
