After the last one I helped with, I think it's very hard to roll them without very slightly pulling them. They'll still look stock to anyone who doesn't know what they're looking at though. Cutting them may solve this, but I'd hate to rub the tires on a fender that's been cut back to sharp metal edges.

I might just try going to -3 degrees of camber and seeing if I rub. It is a daily driver, but I only put about 4000k a year on it. If I do, I'll patiently roll them. Cutting the fender lip isn't really an option.

It's not terribly aggressive. With 255 Falken RT615's it's certainly more aggressive than stock. Based on specs alone it should be 16mm more aggressive than stock. However, I'm pretty sure that the Falkens at 245 have a wider tread width than the stock Bridgestones.

You might not even really need to roll your fenders for that. Remember, camber is dynamic; As your suspension compresses the more actual camber there is. Have you actually driven around with them on?

Project22a, I understand what you're talking about. I haven't driven around on them yet, but I don't know if there will be enough camber gain under compression to clear. There's only one way to find out.

With your gap, you may rub only on hard dips or while cornering sharply. A roll on the fenders will be fine and be sure to cut and relocate your bumper tab because rubbing on this can cheesegrate your tires in a heartbeat.

IIGQ4U, do you think another degree of camber would clear without a fender roll? I know it's probably hard to tell from the photos.

On a 9" wheel with 255 unstretched tires and unrolled fenders, I believe you will rub. With your drop, you may not be able to dial in much more negative camber anyway.

Why wouldn't I be able to dial in more camber? You can usually get a good bit more when you're lowered because you gain camber mechanically. I am at -2 right now. However, when I first lowered the car I was up to -2.4 from the factory alignment.
