Talking Hot....sexy....I'm in love...

Got my wheels and tires done today. I may have to roll the rear fenders just a little bit. I got some rubbing on the right side, but the left is ok.
But damn, does it look sexy


I need a different setting and then I will get a high res shot for the calender.

Try getting camber bolts for the rear and dialing in a little negative camber to eliminate the rubbing.

Uhhhh, that requires work and getting dirty, etc.
I just took a tire iron, a 2x4 block and pulled it out a little. Havent tested it yet to see if it worked. If it still rubs, I'll consider the camber fix.

Not sure I understand your question?
They are rubbing at the top of the fender lip, closest to the tire on the inside of the fender. After pulling the fenders out a little bit last night, they are only rubbing on th inside where the plastic liner is now.

Mine rubs on the passenger side outer fender. The part of the tire that makes contact with the fender is the outer part that we see, not the inner part of the tire.
