Coy bro, if im running 15x7 +10 offset, will it stick out even tucked and fenders cut too much? Also what tire size is going to be best? I want rubber, but dont want it to rub bad. Thanks man

it wont stick out so much since its a 7" wide wheel. it'll sit pretty much like how mine is but just not as close to the fender. a 195/45 would be your best bet to add a little stretch to the tire. your speed will be off by about 7mph faster than what you're actually going.

as for cutting, i sprayed some white primer where i cut m fenders to stop rust. i dont plan on painting it because you cant see it anyways and my car is white.. so it masks it a bit better...

and i havnt changed oil yet.. i think its loooonnng overdue :shock:

Ok so my front rubs like hell on this metal weld/bar thingy in the front top of my fender well. Has anyone else had this problem? What to do? You cant really bend it.
Im running a 15X6.5 rim wrapped in 205/50/15 tires. Using h&r race springs but it looks lower than most h&rs ive seen.
Heres a pic(not mine but this is the rubbing im having) with the fender plastic thingy on:

Heres a shot of the metal thats in the front fender above the tire that eats my tread:(bar with the welds)

Heres a pic of the ride:

you could take a mallot/hammer to that to bend and flatten it out. thats what i did to mine.

So you just bend it inwards? what about the splashgaurd/black fender lining did you remove that? cause it looks like if i bent it in the platic thing wont fit on right.

i cut the fender liner where that weld was so only that was showing. hammered the seam to 'pinch' the liner in place.

What saw blade should you buy? I bought a 32 tooth one i think it was and it took me like half hour to get 2 in, cut off and its hella hard. Im really about to take a power tool to this biytch

are you talking about that seam in the front wheel well? i suggest you not to cut it off. its helping keep the rigidity on the front. bending it with a hammer/mallot would be best.

hey i have a quick question, and i tried to search and nothing came up. how do you guys get a floor jack under your car to lift it up when its so low to the ground? to work on gettin oil changed and stuff. because im getting coilovers soon and im most likely going to be lowering it. let me know! thanks.
