Thumbs up How much fender pull?

Im about to buy some rims. PROBLEM. I dont know how much fender work is going to be needed? Im asking for help so please keep neg comments to yourself.

Ok the size of the rims will be Rear 18x10.5 +15 Front 18x9.5 +12. I will do rim poke if needed and i still wanna have my slammed look. The max neg camber I can do in the rear on stock is -6. I dont want to do a camber kit for the rear, only the front. So my question is. HOW MUCH FENDER WORK WILL I NEED TO DO? and no i dont want to buy fender flares. I know this fitment is possible i have seen it several time but nobody talks about how it's done. I may also do just 18x9.5 +12 all around. May be a lot easier to fit.

Thanks for the help!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Seriously!?!? How on earth is that easy to fit? -6 camber on stock ride height?

Ok but seriously there is no way that is going to work. I challenge you to post a link to any car that is running this set up without EXTREME body work and suspension work which means over fenders and much wider front fenders or alot metal and body work the what already there.

No fender pull necessary. Just run no fenders. Weight reduction baby.

Like i said, i want to stay low. but if i need to raise it a lil bit thats fine. I was able to get -6 on my car being 3inches from the ground. I also said i have seen several s2k's with this setup but nobody talks about what kind of body work was needed.

Show me a link because like I said there is no way they don't have ALOT of work done. Or PM who ever "has" this set up and ask them what they had to do.

These wheels will stick out 2.5 inches past the fender. I don't understand people not wanting over fenders because you are going to complete destroy or heavily modify the OEM past the point of returning them to stock so why overfenders are not ok is beyond me.

Tires are stupidly small like a 215. You right about the camber. The fender work like I said is extensive and professionally done. They have completely pulled the entire lip flat and smoothed it out and may even be extended without measurements against stock its hard to tell. Go to a good body shop and ask them what that kind of work would cost and how many hours are involved. Also I would still argue even with all that work those wheels don't fit at all but I guess it could technically drive down a straight flat road with no issues. Forget about turning or any kind of bump because that wheels has 1 inch of space before it destroys all of that pretty fender work.
