fender flares are stupid unless your running a rim over 10 inch wide and your running at least a 275 or larger rear tire.

You run 2-2.5deg camber, cut your quarters and run flares.
I'm running 17x9.5 +35 wheels on 255/40/17's. I got my flares put on so I can run a bit less camber and make use of the whole tire. I DD the car racking up anywhere from 10-15K miles a year...or more

Is this the only way to be able to have anything wider than a 255.in the rear?? At the moment I have 17x10 +38 and I want to fit a wider tire in the rear but I also have two much negative camber. I'm trying to fix the negative camber issue first , since I was at the track I kept sliding due to the rear tires not 100% touching the ground. Anybody here still have stock rear fenders with a roll and a pull and where able to fit a 265 or 275??
Also what steps can I go about reducing camber in the rears (what do I need to buy? ext...)

I love how the flares look, either molded or riveted, especially if they're being used in a practical manner to run wider tires without using stupid amounts of negative camber.
I think the reason most people seem to dislike them on S2K's is because they're typically uneeded. For any N/A setup, you'll be able to get plenty of traction on a good set of 245s/255s. For my car and what I'm planning to do though, I'd jump at a chance to get my fenders properly flared
