Well as many of you know I picked up some tein basics.
When I went to install them, they rubbed my wheels (flik ftd 17x8's)
Basically I have thought of 2 options.
-switch to 215/45's
if I do this they tires are gonna look stretched beyond belief.
-or run some small spacers.
if I do this I'm definitely gonna need some toyo fenders front, but thats wayy out of budget.
Can anyone help me think of anymore options?
I don't want to get rid of these wheels.
can you not get the fenders rolled?
Yes I can do that easily.
But I don't know how well the paint will hold up.
If your careful and have a nice curve instead of a crease, you should be fine.
charlie just sell me the tiens and call it a day
trade you for the saab kit
tires wont look stretched beyond belief, just take it to a place that will roll the fenders and use a heat gun and if they do crack the paint they will pay for it lol
I guess my tires looked "stretched beyond belief"? News to me.
They were stretched, but the car looked nicely sitting on them and handled great.
Cut your stock springs.
what's your offset?

A more accurate observation has never been typed. These should be the starting points before any serious performance modification. What's the point of making a serious performer if you can't control it's power?
Strat81 and I used a heat gun when we rolled and "flaired" our fenders and we didnt mess up our paint.
