I'm fitting a 9.5" +38 rear with only a roll and minor pull. Were going to either cut the rear inner lip off then pull or just roll it as flat as possible. Were going asia007 nasty pull style. 10" +18 is only 25mm more aggressive outer position. I'm at the least amount of camber I can have and I'm at -4 right now. I know people say it can't be done on oem camber joints but I've been to -7. With another -2 or -3 more camber with a 15mm pull, I know it could be done. You can see on the rpf1 thread how the 9.5"+38 with a 245/40 up front with -2 camber with ample room to clear the tire. The only concern I have is how will -7 camber wear on the diff. When I was at -6 it smelled to high holy hell until I backed the camber down to -4.

then your quarter panels will buckle

pics at -7? The only way you can be at -7 is if your toe is incredibly messed up.

Alsoooooo, approx how much pull can a rear fender take before it buckles??

Alex, do you have any pictures of when your fender buckled? I want to see what the aftermath may be.

^Probably not much more than you already have. Trust me the aftermath is not worth it. It's not just a small buckle either when it happens.

I figured I'd need some bondo and paint to thin the ripples but I don't want pounds of bondo on the car.

Approx how much from stock would you guess your pulled?

if you look at my sig, you can see that it lines up perfectly with the rear bumper, so it's not pulled that much.
