So fender rolling isn't an option for me. The fenders are already showing signs of cracking on the paint. I'll eventually cut them and add over fenders. buut, for now, how much camber will I need to clear them?
Stock suspension
19x11" +22 wheels with 285/35 tires.

Thanks. If you have camber to clear let me know what you needed to make it work.

easy guys

Ow. I just bit my tongue so hard it's bleeding.

I'll say it as calmly as I can.

CAMBER IS NOT FOR TIRE FIT!!

And besides, if you have STOCK SUSPENSION, how do you propose to minus the camber??

But if you wanna do it.... your car, your handling, your safety.

So what do you suggest I do then? roll the fenders and repaint them? or cut them?

ok. sorry, forgot to mention I'd buy camber arms of course.

If I only have to run an extra -1' of camber idk why you act like it'd be so bad...

Why can't you guys just buy parts that fit? Why is that never the first option?

sage_lee

I wasn't sure if 285's were wide enough to need a fender roll. And initially if they did that was the plan, but the paint weakening since then affected that.

But screw it,ill roll them and touch up if it cracks more.

if you dont feel comfortable rolling them, hit up Acid Jake on here. he is in Carrolton and used to work on my Z, and rolled my fenders for me

MicVelo

I don't act because I really don't care. If you want to run 3 deg of negative camber on the back for the sake of tire FIT and not enough up front and understeer yourself into a ditch, your call.

Or at the least, end up cursing the handling of your car when it refuses to turn in like it did stock. Again, your call.

So on that note, can't vouch for an 11" wheel but a 10.5 +22 with the 285s works fine at lower limit of alignment range WITH fender roll, which, IMO, is a better way to go than to mess with the handling.

nah, afraid a mustang would slam into me or something. dont do many things car related anymore, if i did i would get together with the vette guys

sage_lee

haha they've become a lot stricter at the meets. Only one monitored exit, no burnouts etc, and cops watching everywhere.

sage_lee

well I got a lot rolled with my grandpa last night using some DIY stuff.
Worked pretty good, not perfect, but the rub is down to minimal only in terrible situations.

Hopefully a little more love will clear it up all the way.

thanks
