Wider fenders needed.... If those rims are on, from the pics rolling doesn't look like it will help.

See? This is why I'm skurred.

Will rolling help? Is this even possible with my Espelirs? How do others with like +25 offset do it dropped so low? A 245mm on a 9 inch rim is stretching it pretty much too, right?

Haha, yes you did. First time I was there. With some coworkers watching the movie Watchmen. It's like 45 minutes away from my house.

Milkbubble, thanks for the picture reference. My wheels are also 9" and I'll probably run a 245. But the thing is, I believe my car is lower than Driver 8's. Espelirs drop the car like 2 inches or so. Do I still have a chance?

17x9 +47 seems extremely safe compared to what im going to run. lol

Some cambering and rolling you should be good to go.

BTW. I havent seen a set of Carving Starks in over 10 years. Thats a good classic find especially brand new.

in this pic i was tucking 245/40/17s with just a fender roll

currently i have 255's with the fenders rolled, bumper tab relocated, and bumper lip trimmed....

the wheels u have will fit without an issue if u roll the fenders and relocate the tab for precationary measure

-2.5 camber with a fender roll and relocated bumper tab you'll be fine.

Can't wait to see them mounted
