Rolled my fenders and installed RUF spacers today

I installed my RUF 21mm spacers today, and then rolled my fenders with a baseball bat to prevent rubbing. It looks and drives great.

I would have installed my 7mm RUF front spacers as well, but RUF sent me the wrong ones, so I'm going to have to wait until my new ones arrive.

Two reasons: Wanted to prevent rubbing with 315 tires with my GT2 spec drop, and wanted a wider, fuller stance.

Car feels exactly the same IRT handling. If it changes after I install the fronts, I'll let you guys know.

No tips. I'm leaving it as is.

Looks great! You mentioned that you are running 315's? What are you running on the fronts, 235's? How do these work on the 8? inch fronts and 11" Rears? (I'm assuming that is what your RS GT's are...) I want to run the GT2 tire sizes on some 18's for track usage as my 19's don't feel as great as the 18's do... Basically I'm just curious about your overall setup rim/tire wise so any info would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Looks great Scott. I was curious also if you had the 12`s on the rear. So I assume you do not have to hack up the liners and the spacers do not add rubbing on the fenders. Do stock GT2`s have spacers?

I just did a quick forum search on "baseball" that didn't turn up anything useful. So...

Can you please describe how you rolled the fender lips with a baseball bat? Maybe I won't buy that Eastwood roller after all.

Right now, I'm running 295 drag radials. But I also have 315 Nitto r-compounds that I plan to run. I was running 315 Pilot Sports last year.

I run 235's up front regardless of what I run in back. The 235's and 315's fit great. No issues whatsoever.
