Default 17x7.5 +35 up front... rubbing issues?

hey guys, i had to use a 15mm spacer to clear my new brakes, so technically, i will be running a 17x7.5 +35 up front... also on 225 tires.... i am pretty sure i already know the answer, but i wanted to see if anyone else had any feedback. Will rolling my front fenders and putting some negative camber do anything to help? (worked for my rears, lol)

roll and pull the front fenders and you should be fine...ive ran a 225 on a 7.5 +40 up front with my pulled fenders and i had plenty of room.

It might clear, but it would be really close and I suspect at some point in the future you will hit the fender making a sharp turn. I have fully rolled fenders, 2.2-2.3 degrees of camber on 225's on +45 offset rims and there isn't much room left. Remember, with the fronts, you need to leave some room when you turn unlike the rears.

It will be certain to rub, id say even with a rolled fender, you'll still have issues imo.

dump it and hope for the - camber to help you out. If its bad, next time go with a 215 front.

Best of luck man.

might just roll it, slam it, and turn the KW's to almost full stiff
