So he's saying damage will occur with stock fenders and tires,with 20+mm spacers and >1.5" drop?

He's gotten me paranoid about my setup: stock tires, 20mm spacers, espelirs, with UK alignment

For sure.

My buddy had 20mm's on the rear, with 255's, STOCK height, and he was rubbing.

UK Spec alignment is very mild, there is not much camber - my first alignment was UK spec. If you have 20mm all around, lowered more than an inch, with no fender modifications, you will **** up your fenders.
My fenders are rolled and dropped on espelirs. Would you reccommend running more camber?

I was like damn, baller fenders lol

As soon as you put the spacers on you can tell what kind of clearance you are going to have, or if you are going to rub. Just put the spacer on, put a jack under the tire, and compress the suspension. You'll see right then and there where/if you are going to rub.

Were your fenders rolled when this happened?
Of course they were rolled, even slightly flared too.

finally got a response back from a-dapt-it usa:

Nick,

I am sorry, the thinnest I can make these adapters is 20 mm. If you are okay with that, the adapters would be 44.75 each, 179.00 for the set of 4. If you have any more questions, please let us know.

Thank you,

Ginger


their pricing is out of control. gonna have to get a set of 20mm

Good price if they're of good quality I have H&R all around and they're ~ $150 for a pair.
