Yes.

Welded in a patch panel, stitch welded in the fender well and in the engine bay on the drivers side of the car. Sealed the seems back up and waiting for it to dry to spray the rubber undercoating.

You should roll the front fenders before you install them too so you can have straight wheels…

I just want to pull maybe 1/4" or less, or maybe roll them really really tight. I can’t drop the rears anymore because the inside of the wheels will rub the inner fender/shock tower area.

just roll them flat let the tire do its own pulling on compression. You can trust it.

I let my tires finish rolling my rear fenders

My old tires could of blown out from rubbing against the inner fender. Took out like ~3/16-1/4" groove of rubber from the inner sidewall. I had to slightly raise the rear up, hammer the inner fender a little and adjust camber a bit.

you’ll be fine and when your tires do wear on the inside from to much neg camber just get 215’s instead and put the shitty ones on the rear and drift them off.

just do it you’ll be happy. it will track more on straight roads but it will handle 100% better on turns and during drift runs.

The narrowest I’ll run is 235 MAYBE :lol I like wide tires and I just bought new rears 255’s. Maybe in the fall when I need new rear tires I’ll step down a bit.
