Is the risk denting the fender? or blowing the tire (cant believe I even wrote that)

I lifted the Car, and removed the spring. the strut bumper hits before the tire rubs, its that little bit of give in the bumper that causes the rub.

Thought I would post the pictures of getting the rims and tires to fit:

These are WB fitment Carrera Classics on a C2 cab. The fronts fit fine, the back are 11" wide with a 55 offset. Tires are 295/30/19

No rubbing, and I think they look awesome. Maxed the offset, so might go through um a bit faster than I would like.

Much thanks to Muellerized in Orange county California, they really helped me out!

Before, with tires rubbing:










After rolling fenders:

Just make sure you inspect the area for cracks in the paint. Shops that don't use a heat gun when rolling the fender can sometimes crack the paint. It isn't til some months down the line until the rust starts showing up.

Wow, that's some serious negative camber. Unless you don't drive very often I still suggest replacing those wheels and going with a more conventional setup...this will have you going thru rear tires so fast your head will spin..

Yeah, he did heat it up. he did the fenders on both of my Evo's and never had an issue.

I think that the negative camber in the photo's is because the its pushed up to its highest position. there is Negative camber, but I was told its not excessive.
