So why is it so important to you that you have to start a whole new thread about it? If thats what the guy wants to run then let him be. Its his car, his money and his wheels. No need to start a new thread about it. Lame.

Isn't that a double negative? Are you actually stating he is not denying they hit the fender?

Man I had a Bimmer 3 Series with an offset similar to that and the streched tire. It worked out up until I lowered the car. Sucks cause I had just got it painted went up a driveway. Yeah well chipped the **** out of my fenders.

Sad that those rims will get damaged and the car if he hits any bumps or puts any weight in the car. The guy is a idiot for running those offsets. Some of you in here need to actually read the topic.

your pretty much wrong if you think those will just go stright up and hit the fender. the camber movement as well as toe-in will tuck the rim as it moves up with its articulation. ive seen more agressive setups that do not hit the fender, maybe its just your inexperience with offsets.


also, why do you care so much? are you the offset police? look whos the idiot who starts another thread to just point it out to everyone...

That will not hit the fender IMO. The suspension cambers alot through its travel and the stretched tires and fender roll provide plenty of additional room. Not a style I particularly like, but it gets the job done

On my bagged 4x4 S10 Blazer (back in the day) My front wheel stuck out past the fender a little bit while at ride height, everyone said it would not fit or tuck inside my fender. Well guess what, when the suspension was lowered the arm moved up, thus causing the wheel to camber and pulling my wheels inside the fender. Same thing happens on our cars.
