fenders rolled, heat gun to the wheel well liners, front camber -3.5 rear -2.5 should do it.
and never said the fronts wouldnt rub at full wheel lock but that situation doesnt happen in real world driving so who cares.
also if I dont have some rubbing the tires aint big enough!!
but I will say that 335's in the rear on 12's are plenty big for this car. I doubt any further increase from that could lead to substantial gains so I am against cutting the car up.

You need to reshape them to create some additional clearance. About 1/2 in will do it.

My pleasure Tom. Alex @ Sharkwerks sold me on the idea, and the BBS wheels. He helped me get it set up correctly. I'm glad to see you are enjoying it. With all the track work you do, it must be a significant bennifit to your times. I feel it adds a major performance increase.
