Default Swift Springs

So help me out. How much (if at all) modification work to my fenders will I need running the following Springs with the following rim setup...

F: 18x7.5 +42 w/ 215/40/18
R: 18x9.5 +55 w/ 265/35/18

Swift Springs

F: 18mm (0.708) drop
R: 25mm (0.984) drop

Will I just need camber or will I need a fender roll as well. Thank for your help..

DAMN!! Sorry guys I made a mistake while typing. Actual rim specs are:

F: 18x7.5 +42 w/ 215/40/18
R: 18x9.5 +55 w/ 265/35/18

I had put +42 when the rear is actually +55. Will that make a difference? Thanks a lot!

you might want to run 235 front. to offset the rear. 265.

if your going to run that wide tires in the rear even with a +55 offset. your still going roll the fenders and im pretty sure your going to slight camber front and rear. thats if your going to run 235 on the front.

i would recommend to run 235 and 265 rear and rolled and slight camber but thats just me.


im running 17 * 7.5 +50 front with 225 and i still rub only on 75mph turn or when i hit a big hump.

so if you dont want any problems. just roll and camber with that set up.

and im running on swift
same specs above.

Cool. Thanks. Sounds about right. When I get new back tires (which will be a while since mine only have like 2k on them) I am going to possibly go to a 255 instead of 265. Not sure though. I just didn't want a big modification project on my hands.

What do you recommend to do a simple "at home" fender roll job?

i would find someone that can do it and have experience on rolling fenders.

i wouldnt want to do that specially your front. You might end up cracking the paint.
